Hello, I've recently installed freebsd 4.1.1 release and there is one really strange terminal issue. I know this sounds like some kind of a newbie question, but: for several yars I was using the combination of a cons25 terminal and a popular win telnet client (http://www.corbina.net/~maloff) on a 2.x and 3.x freebsd systems. All programs like vi, ee, mc worked just fine with it over the network terminal. But after migrating to 4.release it seems like there is something wrong with the termcap cons25 section, and all those programs doesn't handle the terminal type right (no scrolling, incorrect cursor movements etc). Replacing the termcap with one taken from 3.x system didn't help, and they are almost the same, I must say. All other settings, profiles, TERM variables and stuff are identical on 3.x and 4.x. But somehow all those programs, even sysinstall work fine on 3.x over the network under cons25 and refuse to handle the same terminal correctly on 4.x ( though work fine on a local console) Can anyone give me a hint? I've tried almost everything ostap To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
