Hello,

1st much thanks to Charles Wilson for inetutils update.

I have latest Cygwin/inetutils installed.

Quick problem explanation:
- doing "telnet localhost" (and not only localhost)
- connection process and remote session control is 100% OK
however...
- getting a space before every entered character (even during login)
- backspace doesn't remove characters but otherwise seems to work (typing
garbage, deleting it and hitting ENTER produces clean prompt, while garbage
stays in previous line)

Does this mean char echoing isn't working right?

This problem is so apparent that I'm pretty sure there were questions about
it already - I just can't find them - so if anyone could point me to a right
thread...

It didn't happen in Cygwin 1.5 with somewhat older inetutils, but I'm pretty
sure it happened with then-latest ones. Now in 1.7 I have no choice, so I'm
trying to find a solution.

I dug for some info regarding terminal emulation and there's plenty of
threads on this, but seems like nothing directly solving my issue.

Thanks in advance for any response.


Regards,
Tomasz Pona
