I solved the same problem between AIX and FBSD by converting termcap and terminfo entries. I'm not sure what Linux uses, but on most SYSV systems there are tools to convert termcap <-> terminfo. AIX had tic (the terminfo compiler) and cap2term or some such. I think Linux uses terminfo. When I converted the FBSD cons25* entries, I copied everything identified as cons25* to a separate file, moved the file to AIX, ran cap2term on the file to create a cons25.ti and compiled with tic. I found a 3151 termcap file so I didn't have to work on that. On the FBSD side, there is a utility called `tcons' that is supposed to convert between the two, but it never worked well for me. I guess I didn't RT enough of the FM. -- Jay On Tue, 19 Aug 1997, Michael Slater wrote: >Hello, > I seem to have a problem when telneting from a FreeBSD machine on our >network to another machine running Linux on our network, but not when >telneting from the Linux machine to the FreeBSD box.
