I tried "tip" and it didn't seem to have any options for setting TERM=vt100. In minicom I've noticed that the default TERM is vt102 and have tried to use all the advice in the manpages etc to set it to vt100. [2_questions] (A) Has anyone manipulated the TERM in minicom ? (B) Can anyone point me to a description of the differences between vt102 and vt100 ? The installation screens on some of the alternate OS's for Sparc (*BSD, Linux) have escape characters all over the place and I need to try and get some console stability to install from a serial cable. The project I'm working on is my own, I've purchased my own Ultra10 (with no keyboard and no monitor) to run different non Solaris OS. So far redhat-6.2 sparc is the only OS that installed with no problems :( and that was NOT the results I wanted to end up with. -- Bill Schoolcraft | PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 http://ForwardSlashUnix.com "UNIX, A Way of Life."
