Install TinyTERM on Windows Vista or Windows 7, then connect to a SCO OpenServer 5 system via telnet. If you hit the Delete key at a shell prompt, it gives a new prompt on the next line. Do this enough times and TinyTERM will disconnect. This does not happen on earlier versions of Windows.

This is due to a change in TCP/IP originally implemented in Windows Vista. More information is available from Microsoft support. This was fixed in TinyTERM version 4.65.4732.

CR 856, Delete key
CR 865, Escape key
