I'm trying to locate where in minicom it decides to ignore the parent vt100 and use it's own default vt102. [midsection_humbly_snipped] naddy->You cannot "manipulated the TERM in minicom". Minicom includes a naddy->terminal emulation, which can be switched between different types naddy->of terminals. If you are connected to a host in minicom, you should naddy->set TERM there to a value that corresponds to minicom's terminal naddy->emulation setting. naddy-> That sounds like a winner, I was struggling the other way. naddy->> (B) Can anyone point me to a description of the differences between naddy->> vt102 and vt100 ? naddy-> naddy->The usual candidates are: naddy->http://vt100.net/ naddy->http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal_index.html naddy-> naddy->The VT102 is a slightly more capable superset of the VT100. Hmm, OK I thought maybe vt100 was preferable to vt102. (see confused above :) naddy->Both NetBSD and OpenBSD/sparc64 are rather shakey at this time. naddy->Whatever problems you may run into, terminal emulation isn't likely naddy->to be one. naddy-> naddy->"UltraLinux" (Linux/sparc64) on the other hand is a farce. They naddy->have a sun4u kernel, but the userland is plain 32-bit sparc. naddy-> I wasn't aware of that, but thanks for your posting.
