I use /stand/sysinstall (and other FreeBSD programs that screwed up when I was set to a PCVT console), Linux systems, OSF systems and VAX/VMS systems... How can I make screen emulations work? No matter which system I'm in? Linux -- with an environment line in .telnetrc -- connects to everything and does the right stuff. This technique isn't working for me in FreeBSD. -- Kevin Cole <Flatline> | E-mail: flatline@pchb1f.gallaudet.edu Gallaudet Research Institute | WWW: http://pchb1f.gallaudet.edu/ Hall Memorial Bldg S-419 | Voice: (202) 651-5135 Washington, D.C. 20002-3695 | FAX: (202) 651-5746
