FreeBSD's console driver does not claim to emulate vt100 terminals, so naturally it won't work. When you telnet to a remote host that does not recognize the terminal type, use the following for the respective OS. sun-24 SunOS/Solaris scoansi Linux I don't know about other OS's, but I think ansi should work just fine. > Shouldn't this be standard? If more UNIX vendors incorporate FreeBSD's console termcap definition into their shipping termcap, then it'll become standard. -- Yun-Ching (Allen) Lee ycl+@cmu.edu "There is no such thing as a good influence...
