Re: terminal not working properly

Any telnet client or terminal emulator should do, but you will sometimes have to tweak 'temcap' in your Informix tree, or system termcap, or system terminfo (depending on version of your Informix products and setings of your environment). Some particularly bad terminal clients tend to split escape sequences between packets, so that dbaccess editor (or vi, for that matter) mistake beginning of a sequence (such as cursor movement) for a stand-alone escape. As far as I know, in that case there is nothing you can do.
