AIX 4.3.3 IBM RS/6000 7025-F50. &nbsp;Terminal is an Info Window II3153<br />
<br />
When using my console and I type a command, SMIT for example, &nbsp;the console doesn't clear, all the previous characters are mixed into what's displayed. &nbsp;It's unreadable for the most part. &nbsp;The console is physically connected to the server.<br />
<br />
When I use a terminal emulator (Reflections) to access the server remotely, the screen clears the previous information and displays only the new information. &nbsp;I can read everything normally.<br />
<br />
AIX/Unix newbie and this is really making learning difficult.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
