I've run into a bit of a jam in the middle of a telnet session. I'm using Net:Telnet to connect to a Unix gateway which in turn connect to a device that uses a VT100 terminal. Now - to the point where I hit the device, I can see all the data being passed between the application and the remote side in my dump_log file - however, from the point where the connection to the VT100 terminal is made, No characters turn up. Now I know that its not something to do with a prompt setting, because all my commands in the secion subsequent to the second telnet session go through without erroring out - - - and I can see all data being exchanged after closing the VT100 connection. Is there a way or means to configure Net:Telnet to deal with VT100? If not, is there any way to deal with this issue?
I'll really appreciate any nudges in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
