Scroll a Telnet Window

[Bill]

I am using telnet on a Windows 2000 client to connect to a
Windows 2000 server. Things seem to work okay, but I can't
scroll back in the display. My screen buffer size height
is set to 9999, but I still only see the last 25 lines,
and can't scroll back. I am able to scroll back connecting
to a Unix server from the same client. Any ideas?

Try going into a DOS (CMD) box on both your local machine and the remote
machine. Do a mode con: lines=40 cols=80

When you start telnet, it will run in a DOS box. Bring up the properties
sheet for that dos box and there will be tab that will allow you to change
the scroll and command buffer sizes.

Per suggestion - changed the cmd.exe (default shell for telnetc) - number of lines, say, 300
when cmd.exe is directly invoked, vertical scroll functions as it should but with telnet (even on the server) - vertical scroll does not work

Any more suggestions ?

TIA
