Hi

What do I have to do when I want to telnet from a FreeBSD box to a Linux
box; the entries of termcap don't match, there's no cons25 on the Linux
box, and when using 'export TERM=vt100' on the linux not everything goes
well, especially pine; the colors are not that good (the bars are
connected, I can't see which mail I select (except in the right-corner
of the screen, yes)...
Do I have to copy the items of the FreeBSD termcap (console) to the Linux
version?

And, what do I have to do to run talk to another host on the internet?
When I just to 'talk psd@anotherhost' talk says something like 'see if
there's an invitation for me' and; of course not, he has to say something
to the client over there...
And; is it possible for each host to connect to you? Under linux hosts has
to be in the /etc/hosts.equiv if someone wants to talk to you...
