Whenever I telnet to a device the backspace key either send a carriage return or outputs ASCII characters to the screen. Anyone have any idea?

    I use mRemote everyday and have never seen that is it only with certain devices?

    It seems to occur when I connect to the AIX box or any other UNIX based box here at work. Also happens on the term servers.

    I've seen this before in mRemote. Not sure if it is just a bug or what...I just use SSH as the workaround though.

    Well this morning I found a solution. Granted, it's no big deal.

    For the routers and WAP's and what not I use SSH. For our term servers and other devices we use telnet internall (i know i know) and I found that in order to send the correct backspace you have to hold SHIFT while pressing the BACKSPACE key. I wonder if it is an emulation issue.

    It's an emulation issue and it looks like mremote wont let you change emulation types. Dang.

    That's what I was going to suggest, but it looks like you've figured it out... icon_wink.gif

    Yea, the problem is that mRemote doesn't support any other emulation from what i can see. The options menu is scarce and I don't see anything in the config file for the program. Looks like I'll have to ditch it if i can't change emulations.

    Hey all, hope this isn't too necro, but I thought I'd answer for any future users who get here by Google-Fu.  mRemoteNG is polling Putty for its Telnet implementation.  Establish your telnet connection as normal.  Right click the connection tab, and select Putty Settings.  There are controls for all kinds of keyboard emulation and display.
