The default terminal-type for ttyv0-7 in FreeBSD-4.0 is "cons25" (set in
/etc/ttys).

This would appear to be a non-standard terminal-type, as it causes me
problems when I rlogin/telnet to other systems, i.e. they do not recognise
this terminal-type. I've come across the same problem with Linux and their
"linux" terminal-type.

I've found that doing a "setenv TERM ansi" or "export TERM=ansi" seems to
work, so why not change the "cons25" default settings in /etc/ttys to
"ansi".


Yours <expecting to be ignored> sincerely,

Rob C.
