Ok, I've figured out the exact problem! I did an stty -a with both login
methods, and diff'ed the two. When logging in via the DECServer, rows and
columns are both set to 0. When I log in using a telnet program on the
PC, rows and columns are set to 24 and 80 (or whatever size I have the
window set to). By manually entering 'stty rows 24 cols 80' at the prompt
before using lynx when logged in via the DECServer. Is this normal
behavior? I tried this on the Linux box (setting stty rows 0 cols 0) and
it still suspended and resumed properly (ncurses).
Incidentally I did some tests to see if I could figured out WHAT was
causing it not to work, and 'stty rows 24 cols 0' causes a core dump upon
exiting lynx on HP if it has been suspended and resumed. 'stty rows 0
cols 80' acts like both being 0. So, the only way to get it to work
properly is to have both set to non-zero values.
