Are you going to use a modem on the BSD box to dial directly into the office UNIX box? Then you would use tip, otherwise you would use telnet to connect over an internet connection. The only hard part is setting the terminal type for the BSD box. If you run XWindows then most likely you would log in through an xterm, and that would be your terminal type. If not, then you would probably set the terminal type to cons25 or vt100. What kind of UNIX are you running at the office? -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
