I don't know Unixware, but with Linux, you have to make TERM=scoterm (if you use the syscons driver) - well, maybe your Linux version has missing this termcap/terminfo description). With the other Unices, search for description of SCO compatible console. And of course, these description have to be on the other machines, not on FB. (If you use the pcvt driver, it's more simple, use any vt220 termcap/terminfo description.) With Linux, I had so many problems with both vt100/vt220/xterm (when I went from console mode, not from X). -- Gabor Zahemszky <zgabor@CoDe.hu> -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
