For FreeBSD cons25 is a standard terminal type, and I > don't see a reason to change it to something else. I'm not aware of who it is that is responsible for standardising terminal-types. But the "ansi" terminal-type sounds a lot more "standard" (seeing as it comes from a standards organisation) to me, than "cons25". Plus, it's in the termcap database on the system I'm currently using to send you this E-mail (SunOS 5.7). As I've already mentioned, "cons25" isn't. I'd bet that "ansi" is more prevalent in the termcap databases of the various other free/commercial operating systems, than "cons25" ! :) > If you need it, you can immediately afterfinishing install edit the /etc/ttys file to your favorite > terminal type (for me this is pc3r - full and right support for Russian locale, only one bug with > 'Del' key) and restart system or ask administrators of other systems to add cons25 in their > terminal databases. Yep! Think I'll do that ! :) Cheers ... > -- > With Best Regards. > Rashid N.
