From: jeffk@garnet.msen.com (Jeff Kopmanis) Subject: [PROBLEM] Modem disconnect garble screws up my terminal character set Date: 31 Jul 1993 05:23:37 GMT
When I disconnect from my online system, occasionally, some 8-bit garbage
comes down the line and sets my terminal's character set real weird. This
is for output-only, as I can still type commands and Linux will respond
correctly. I just can't understand or read what I typed. It's as if 0x80
was added to every character or something, 'cause they all appear as funky
line drawing characters (from the PC char set), bullets and such.
What's up? If no one knows, how can I reset my terminal session to a
start-up condition without rebooting?
FYI: I have a Paradise 256K VGA card and a DTK KEEN-2530 PC.
This is not a big item, its just annoying because I have to reboot to get
rid of it. I will usually just switch to another VC and continue on. But,
I lose a VC due to incomprehension of the output.
Thanks!
-Jeff. :)
