I have to admit that I have no idea as to what's going on.
I don't have a copy of stermpro source, but I did look at the source for sterm.
The problem is that it shouldn't work either, and if pro has the echo routines
then it is working properly (ie. doing line overwrites).
Sterm reads data in from the modem in raw mode (using read()). It then buffers
this and dumps it to the terminal using raw writes (using write()). So, if the
input stream does not contain linefeeds (as is the case most of the time) then
lines should overwrite themselves.
So, before I can find why pro does not work under screen, can someone tell me
why plain sterm works at all? I know I'm missing something real simple .
