I'm forwarding this to freebsd-questions where you'll get a "right" answer, and adding info about my newbie workaround :-) I simply installed the screen package, and run 'screen' before 'telnet linux.host.name'. It is easy and works very well. No doubt others will offer more technical solutions which you could try too. > BTW Are there any HOWTO documents available on the net. A good place to start is the FreeBSD web site, especially http://www.freebsd.org/newbies.html It points to most of the documentation, tutorials, etc. If you can't find the answers you're looking for from there, come back and ask freebsd-questions. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
