[tty] and [lines per page]??

[ppalanca]

Dialing in on tty1....on all TERM setups...if vi'ing or using SMIT...the screen will scroll as if it's set to 48 lines instead of 24??

Will then telnet to a SCO box and upon using scoadmin...same effect.

Believe it may be a setting in [tty]....not sure which though. And of course I can't reliably "see" the settings from SMIT.
Trying to fix via modem but may need to go onsite.

You can get the settings your sessions *thinks* it has with the "termdef" command

-c = columns
-r = rows
-t = name of current display

I've found my problem and thought others would be interested. AIX server has a program called Double Vision that had a pre-attached session applied to tty0...whenever a graphical interface was used it would throw 2 screens together with "hilarious" results. Was able to fix a session through this program by aligning the terminal translation to what the actual port was set to...after first disabling the pre-attached session. Then set the tty to [vt100] which this DV program defaulted to...then rebooted server and VIOLA! Could chime in on any emulation I wanted...be it scoansi or ibm3151.

Wish I could offer a better solution than intuitive meandering. Basically 2 emulation tables were competing for supremacy over the other.

Ick. If "Double Vision" does what I think it does, gnu "screen" (available from any Bull site) is excellent and probably superior.

How do you know if double vision is running on your system?
Thanks in advance

When logged in as [root]....type [dv] to get into DoubleVision's graphic user inetrface.
Also, if you do a find on dv*...should point to where program is loaded.
find / -name dv* -print
