Remote login on a Solaris/Linux/ whatever box. Invoke a full screen program. Good luck! :-( >Fix: Why can't FreeBSD use vt100, xterm, or some other sensible *and* common terminal emulation by default? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
