It's very cool, as it has allowed me to use ssh, which was easy and fun to set up. The problem I have is not being able to use some programs like pine or vi over the account because it doesn't recognize my terminal type, cons25. However, it works fine from an xterm, because I'm writing from it now. What type should I set in /etc/ttys? I suppose I should just choose of the virtual terminals to configure and always use that one when logging in to my ISP. Correct?
