GOAL:
Garbage characters when connected via wyse60 terminals.
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
SYMPTOM(s):
Hardware terminals are used.
Emulation and $TERM value is set to wyse60.
The issue seems to appear randomly.
The problem doesn't occur on PCs with wyse60 terminal emulators.
CAUSE:
The issue seems to be brought about by the fact that the server is too fast for dumb terminals and doesn't "wait" for appropriate initialization string transmission.
FIX:
Specify a delay period in the initialization string of the protermcap entry for wyse60 terminal in order to give the terminal adequate time to execute the
command.
For example, change the following line:
:Si=\EZ0-^o\177:Se=\EZ0-^H\177:\
into:
:Si=200\EZ0-^o\177:Se=\EZ0-^H\177:\
This introduces the delay period of 200 ms.
