I'm somewhat surprised that the window clients don't support "pc console" but I've never used them myself. If you can't get any of the available termcaps on the remote system working you have two options. 1. Install a termcap (or terminfo) that supports your terminal. I have no idea how you would go about doing this in a Windows environment. 2. Run X on your local machine, and use XTerms to talk to the remote server, using one of the VT100 modes (XTerms try to be VT102 emulators, but VT100 is usually close enough for most purposeses) -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
