That sounds like a bug to me. In Linux maybe. What happens is that Linux doesn't recognize cons25 and rather than say so and ask for a TERM type (a la BSDI) it just refuses the connection. It will do that with any TERM that isn't defined in its termcap. Not very sociable, IMO. :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.
