I am trying to edit a file and when I vi the file, I get rolling lines and garbled messages. So much that I did not want to edit the file for fear of screwing up the file.
I am logged in a Sun Box through a Windows Hyperterminal to a SunFire box serial port.
I presume that my display is not set up correctly. echo $TERM shows sun but when I vi editor a file it rolls and produce some garbage. I presume I have to set my display. Any ideas how to determine what display to set it to? Should I set a display according to the box model like v100, something like that?
