Good day,
I have some display problems when connecting to a remote Unix machine using telnet from a Windows PC, and running emacs. Emacs displays erroneously the lines and all the text is messed up. Any hint? Thank you.
Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min.

It's probably a terminal-type mismatch. You need to
ensure that the terminal that your telnet session is emulating is the same as
that set at the UNIX end. Emacs seems to make more subtle use of terminal
capabilities than most other programs, so it shows up small errors. You
might be better off running an X server on your PC and then running Emacs as an
X client.
