different lines.

Operating system-specific notes

The Microsoft® Windows 2000 telnet client does not support the Functions keys F1 through
F12, Insert, Home, and End keys. These keys will not work in a Lights-Out 100 command
line session.

The Backspace key in the Lights-Out 100 CLP implementation is mapped to the value 0x8.
Some client operating systems, Novell Linux Desktop and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
Desktop, map the Backspace key to the value 0x7f, which is used for the Delete key in the
Windows telnet client. The Backspace key will not work from a client from which it has
value of 0x7f. For the Linux clients, using the Home or the End key enables the Lights-Out
100 CLP service to remap the Backspace key to use the value 0x7f, making the key functional.

In the Windows PuTTY client, the Backspace key can be mapped to a value of 0x8 by changing
the setting for Terminal Keyboard to Control-H.

Base commands
