Unless Nortel has made a change in the last 25 Years, you can't.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.

That didn't do it MrPederman? Looks like it took, but still not working.

Are you using OTM or CLI to access the PBX?

Not in my book, OTM makes a good boat anchor.

I tested on my switch and it works OK.
What the command "lon" allows you to do is edit the text before you hit the enter key.
With "lof" you can still edit the text, it just screws up the command and when you press enter, the pbx can't understand it.
Backspace always works on the keyboard regardless of lon/lof.
Maybe you need to check the keyboard settings in your procomm?

I had this working on 3.0, but lost the functionality when we upgraded to 4.5? I cannot seem to get this working again either.

I am using 4-port paddle boards so that is why mine works, but it appears the LON and LOF commands are not applicable to MSDL TTY.
You must enable the FUNC = LME in the tty programming in LD17 to permit Line Mode Editing in a msdl tty.
Line Mode Editing (LME) permits the user to enter and review an entire line before transmitting it to the Meridian 1. This function is only supported for VT220-type terminals running EM200 emulation mode.
I have never configured this so check your manuals!
