In order to be able to use for example Midnight Commander I change my TERM variable from TERM=cons25l1 to TERM=vt100. When I switch back, working directly on a FreeBSD console everything is black and white (X applications are still in colour). But what strikes me most is that even when I shutdown FreeBSD and start again the console is still black and white. Only a second boot would start the console in colour modus. Am I missing something? TERM=cons25l1 Graphic Board: Miro Crystal 20SD PCI with S3 SDAC Pentium 120 (not state of the art, but FreeBSD does really a great job!!) OT: BTW can anyone recommend some good Telnet client for WIN NT. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!
