I wouldn't expect the ISP to be responsive to this kind of requests. Besides, it's more complicated. Chances are their box uses terminfo instead of termcap or, quite typically, *both* databases depending on the application. (And their termcap and terminfo databases don't need to be in sync. Red Hat 6.0 for example ships with cons25{,l1} in terminfo but not in termcap.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
