Hello, when I ssh to my school Unix account (unfortunately solaris) from my local host's command line and when I attempt to clear the screen, I get an error message from the remote host: `cons25`: unknown terminal type. The remote host is $TERM=xterm. My local machine is FreeBSD's default $TERM=cons25. My question is: how can I switch my local terminal type so that it works correctly with the remote machine? I don't want to install X, but if that is the only option then I'll reconsider. Thank you, -zh __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
