PC3 refers to a setup for your console screen, and it's very highly unlikely that the dos program you mention emulates it. It's much more likely that the dos user has it set up to do either a vt100 emulation, or maybe a tvi925. It's really likely that the comm program can emulate more than one, so it's up to you and your user to pick an emulation that the dos program can do, and that has a litsting in /usr/share/misc/termcap. It's really unlikely it's pc3. > > -Dave Babler > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
