Well, I don't think (in this case) the unix-ness gets too far into it, the termcap being read is on the other host, not the sparc box. Otherwise, if it was on the sparc box, I could just tell it to use the xterm termcap, and use the available xterm sending protocol. My serial will be my Mac, which has a nice termcap (it's freebsd's, of course) > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
