I admit to ignorance and a little stupidity always helps ... but:
in my latest attempt to connect
1.) as root start ppp - the default paragraph of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf is invoked
2.) enter term to ppp ON myname>
response deflink: Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa4
3.) enter at response OK
4.) enter atdt4084422 response:
CONNECT 48000/ARQ/X2/LAPM/V42BIS
Intac access Corperation
login: ( keyin of my user name )
Password: ( keyin of my password )
PPP session from ( 199.,173.8.10) to 199.173.8.58 beginning ...
~@#$#
PPP ON myname>
5.) switch virtual terminal
6.) enter telnet 198.6.114.2 response login:
7.) enter user name response Password:
8.) enter password787987987 response the first level menu from my isp somewhat
slow but a complete and valid menu.
9.) select a menu entry response nothing.
10.) I now recognize that the preference selection for terminal at my isp is vt100
and that device vt0 line in my conf file is commented out.
I guess that I have to rebuild the kernel with uncommented "device vt0 ...
" , then set the environment variable TERM
to vt100 . Is this correct ? Is there anything else ?
