Hi all, I asked a similar question before, but I am trying to attack it again. When I use Tera Term Pro on a windows machine to connect to the sunOS 2.6 boxes at school (they don't support ssh) I have zero problems. However, using a cons25, xterm, or vt100 terminal from my bsd box, I have a nightmare editing anything. My cursor and page navigation keys send errant characters that ruin the text. They open insert lines in vi and add capital A, B, C, and D I think. It is almost useless. The cons25 is worse, and the cursor keys do not work at all. Since teraterm works fine, there must be something I can do. Any ideas? jcm -- "That depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." -President Bill Clinton "I don't know what you mean by the word 'ask.'" -CEO Bill Gates To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
