After looking at the mailing list archives and searching anything I could think of I'm still at a loss of how to fix my problem. I'm using the sco console driver (sc0) in the kernel and I set TERM to vt100/vt102/vt220 and probably about anything vtXXX related. By the way, here's one of my lines for my virtual terminal in /etc/ttys ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure I've tried to change cons25 to one of the many vtXXX related termcap entries and even pcvt50 (saw in archives). Ok...enough background... Here's my problem. When I try to telnet to a DEC server, I consistently get "unknown terminal type". Even though TERM is equal to let's say vt100. Now the strange thing is, when I come from a Linux system, through my FreeBSD system and then to the DEC it works fine, regardless of which TERM I use. (as long as it isn't cons25) Is there a way to fix this? I need to go between all three systems easily. Any more suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Also if you need more info on my setup, let me know. David
