- I noticed this problem in the previous CSD with TELNET. I switched back to
- the last version that did work and everything was fine. It's a shame, too,
- because the newer ones seem to display faster. Anyway, I got this latest CSD
- and noticed that TELNET and VT220 are still broken. Sigh.
-
- I hadn't noticed the Ctrl-C problem--I don't use Emacs--but you might take a
- look that the "local character" setting (hit Ctrl-] and then type "help.")
- there may be a solution somewhere in there.
