i find, when experimenting, it is best to use the same terminal emulations on the same end. BAD 0 -> 9 GOOD login man hist lynx vt52 OK 1 2 1 vt100 OK 1 2 1 vt102 OK 7 2 2 vt200 OK 7 9 7 vt202 NO WARN 9 ERROR vt220 OK WARN 9 ERROR ansi OK 9 9 4 xterm OK 9 9 9 cons25 NO WARN 9 ERROR this led me to check your termcap. i do not see any cons25 entries, and then i checked your terminfo, and i do not see any either. where did you put them? then i noticed you didn't have any vt202 termcap/terminfo entries, and that's why i couldn't login with vt202 either. if i set the Redhat4 TERM variable to an unknown type, it takes 15 seconds for a login prompt while telnetting localhost. if i set my FreeBSD TERM variable to an unknown type, it takes 1 second for a login prompt while telnetting localhost. so it appears as if Redhat4 "chokes" for 15 seconds with an unknown telnet terminal connection, and FreeBSD can't put up with it for more than a second. ------------------------------------------------- FingerPrint BA09868C 1B995204 58410FD3 A5E7B2DA http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/way/7747 -------------------------------------------------
