How are you using telnet from the FreeBSD machine? Are you on the console or are you in an xterm? The PC Console isn't a very good VT100 emulator, you need to use a mode like "pc-cons" or "pc-ansi" or "ansi" or "cons25" or "pccons" or whatever the remote system actually has for PC consoles. XTerms in general are halfway decent VT100 emulators, but using "xterm" is even better. Windows telnet is a terrible emulator, but if you consider it to work with "no problems" as a vt100 terminal, then you should have no problem getting equivelent functionality out of FreeBSD with the right term variable. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
