Hello, I was referred to you by Best support. I have an account at Best,
which says they are
using FreeBSD software. I work at Sun Microsystems where I am using a Sun
Ultra 1 workstation
running (I think) Solaris 2.5.1 and CDE. Since I switched from OpenWindows
(sun-cmd) to CDE
(dtterm), I've had a lot of difficulty using vi when telnetting into my
Best account. I found a
dtterm entry in /etc/termcap on the Best server, but my visual display in
vi is pretty garbled.
Can you shed any light on why that is and what I can do to fix it? I've
experimented with
different environment variables but have been unable to find a combination
that clears up the
problem.
Thanks,
Steve Goldfield
