WvV> That is not the case... I spend a lot of time configuring my Putty to work correctly. I'd suggest you first make it working without luit. You may need to play with Putty's settings. And TERM=putty works the best for me. What I mean - it may work and it's just configuration thing. It should be totally fine for you too because you have correct termnifo.
