SYMPTOMS
After starting an AT&T 6300, MS-DOS uses only one line of the screen to
display commands such as DIR, TREE, and so on; however, the startup
information remains on the screen even after issuing the CLS command. In
the other cases, the system will hang at the DOS prompt after pressing
ENTER a few times.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file,
or use the debug script listed below.
device=ansi.sys /s
The same behavior occurs on AT&T 6310 machines.
