An alternative is to take a copy of the cons25 entries from /usr/share/misc/termcap and use captoinfo(1) on the HP-UX box to translate from termcap to terminfo. Then use tic(1) to compile them (you may need to be root at this point - or set TERMINFO to point somewhere you have write access to). After that, HPUX should recognise the FreeBSD console type, "cons25". A final alternative might be to recompile your kernel with pcvt instead of syscons. That'll give you a vt220 by default. But I'm not sure how well supported that is these days (probably fine; I just haven't heard of anyone using it in a while). -Dom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
