We converted the last of our BSDI boxes to FreeBSD several months ago, BSDI is just a vague memory to me now. :) The other option, if you have root access to the BSDI box, is to add the cons25 entry from FreeBSD's termcap to the termcap on the BSDI machine. Or just add cons25 to the ibm-pc3 entry, that'll give you /most/ of the functionality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.
