Alain,
Since I am the original poster, I'll give it a shot. Whatever the
defaults are for the xresources are what I'm using, since I have
never touched them. The failure is in scrolling of the screen, and
leaving random characters behind, the next screen then is corrupted
by those left behind from the previous, etc. Minicom running in an
rxvt on Linux works fine, the same fails on FreeBSD. I'm using fvwm95
on both. I've tried various shells as well, with little or no difference in
the results. Not to complicate the issue, but someone else has brought
up Kermit. Version 3.14 of Kermit on DOS also works perfectly accessing
the same systems as a vt100. Minicom, running from the default shell or
from bash also works flawlessly on FreeBSD. Now, that suggests the X
environment perhaps. Oh, by the way, it also fails in a like manner when
run in an xterm, on either Linux or FreeBSD. It works well in both an rxvt
or from the console on Linux, but only the console on FreeBSD. The same
Xfree86 version is installed on both. And, we're talking the very same
machine in this case. I have both installed.
