Howdy for what it's worth this is the problem I had a number of months ago, and kindly BSD'er suggested a number of termcap entries - what finally worked was - looking at my (former) ISPs termcap. I found an entry for 'at' that was close to '386at-m' in the BSD termcap. I then merely added the 'at' name to that entry (eg. at|386at-m|...) and set TERM to 'at' from that point on everything seemed to work fine when telneting in. Hope this helps Keith kleon@bellsouth.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Character is what you are in the dark - John Warfin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > i gave my freebsd cons25/50 entries to my RehHat4 > > > isp, but i still get "connection closed by foreign host" > > > when telnet-ing. i can ftp/http/etc, and can even telnet > > > from an xterm. > > > > I can't even get it to work through an XTerm, but I have cons25 as a > > specified environment variable...
