Hello Jason Now I set TERM at the remote machine to cons25 and it runs perfectly. My last question: I work on diffrent Windows machines and they only support vt100 or vt52 (terminal.exe). I test TERM=... cit80, cit101, vt100-an, vt100-am, vt100-np, vt100-nac, vt100-s-bot, vt100-nav, vt100-w, vt100-w-nam, vt100-s and wy75 on my FreeBSD box but without success. Why I can't access to the shell account over telnet? On Fri, Aug 03, 2001 at 09:17:21AM -0400 Jason Andresen wrote: > > > > I test all the above terms with no success (results was allways the same)!
