.SH BUGS
|
||
|
This program is used only for communicating with foreign systems,
|
||
|
so it is not
|
||
|
as rich an emulation as its equivalent in other environments.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Use care in setting raw and newline modes when connecting to Unix systems
|
||
|
via
|
||
|
.IR con (1)
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.IR ssh (1).
|
||
|
It may also be necessary to set the emulator into raw mode.
