• Peculiar phenomenon involving Vim on DECUServe through PuTTY

    From MG@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 6 00:48:04 2025
    Whenever I connect to DECUServe (EISNER::) using PuTTY under
    Windows, Vim takes up to well over a minute or so to come up;
    each time, regardless if it's a preexisting or new file.
    However, when I connect through a regular "Windows Terminal"
    (PowerShell or otherwise) SSH session, Vim comes up normally,
    i.e. within a second or so.

    Could it be that PuTTY (since a certain version?) provides
    confusing terminal type information; and, if so, how to
    check/verify this? At the same time, even if the case, I
    never or rarely encountered this in the past.
