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.
