Hi there,

I use a win32 terminal software to access a FreeBSD-4.3-STABLE 
machine. It offers (SCO)ANSI, Linux, VT{100,102,220} terminal 
emulations, but no matter which one I choose, I don't get any 
color support. It looks like the term. actually strips any color 
codes off the data, since with $CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 
$ ls -la | most 
written in the console ($TERM=cons25) will _display_ the color
codes (instead of just colorizing the characters; this is another
issue I'd like to resolve), while no color codes display if I type 
that in the term. software.
Also, connecting to other machines running Linux, the color support
works just fine ($TERM=vt220).

Since it looks like there's nothing I can do about the win32
term. emul. software, is there anything on the FreeBSD side I can
do to get colors?

TIA
