A. When you connect via Telnet, your session can emulate one of a number of types. Usually you can set the type by starting Telnet and running the following command:
set term x(where x is ANSI, VT100, VT52, or VTNT).
You can also set the type in the registry. To avoid having to set each type, perform the following steps:
Start regedit.exe.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftTelnet.
From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value.
Enter a name of TERMTYPE.
Set TERMTYPE to one of the following:
0—Default VTNT
1—VT100
2—VT52
3—ANSI
Click OK.
Close regedit.
