Dave, the problem was that your .profile had two characters, ^ and H, where
it should have had only one, <CTRL>H. I've taken the liberty of fixing
that problem. (I also fixed the interrupt and kill keys, which had the smae
problem.) I also changed the path of the tset command from /usr/ucb/tset to
/usr/bin/tset.
Tim, you had the same problems with .login. I've fixed them.
I don't know why your tab key isn't working.
Mine works for me.
See: Two tabs, on both this line and the line one above it.

It is, as long as you're not using a shell which does something special
with '^', in which case you might need to surround the ^H with single quotes.

This is more like a little niggle than a problem, but why won't colour work
in programs like "most" when I have my terminal set to xterm (I don't know
of any other terminal settings where it might work)?

I've also tried "vt100", "vt102", "vt220", and "vt420" to no avail.

re #225: does color work in anything? what happens if you
use echo in the shell to echo the escape sequence to change
text color? any effect? your pager program might be eating
the color sequences if it works in the shell but not in bbs.

No motd, no list of users. Is this a permanent change, or a problem?

Thanks. That did it. Now I get the message
mesg: Unable to find your tty (ttyq5) in utmp file
Is that good or bad or indifferent?

It means that the settings allowing (or disallowing) tels won't be available.
We may need to recompile mesg.

Is this related to the problem of talk not working? Tels work for me.

No, the problem is that talk is not suid. I don't have time to work on
this right now.

I get the same error message trying to talk to people whether or not they are
logged in - try a talk keesan (I am logged in) or a talk jdeigert. Something
about sockets. Presumably a file in the wrong place or some limit set wrong.

235 slipped in. Does 'not suid' mean permissions for talk need to be
changed? I will tell people to email me until talk works again.

Sort of. The program permissions determine who can run it, but what
needs changing is what permissions the program can use to run the other
processes it needs (like those that allow non-members to use talk to
connect to a non-Grex-local machine).

I'm not sure if colors will be at all useful in bbs; but most uses them. w3m
does, too, but I don't know if we have that installed. I'll check that, and
setting the terminal to ansi, now.
