After you have connected to the remote host, if you are using an HP terminal or an HP terminal emulator (like a terminal window in HP VUE), follow this procedure to check your terminal settings on the remote host.

  1. Issue the following command at the remote host's command prompt to make sure your terminal type is set to hp:

    echo $TERM

  2. If your terminal type is not set to hp, issue the following command:

    eval 'tset -s hp'

    Be sure to use single backquotes, not regular single quote marks.

  3. Issue the following command at the remote host's command prompt to check your terminal settings:

    stty

    You should have the following terminal settings (among others):

    • intr = ^C

    • erase = ^H

    • kill = ^U

  4. If your terminal settings are not correct, issue the following command to set them:

    stty intr \^C erase \^H kill \^U

Type man 1 stty or man 1 tset for more information.
