I thought that I'd try to get it running with my -current system. I followed the instructions in the handbook and successfully hooked it up and had a semi-working terminal, the only problem was I couldn't run vi or lynx or anything that needed a specific terminal type. I then found on the Internet a termcap setting for the terminal. I added it to the termcap file and changed ttys for the new type (plus), but my after you log in on the terminal tcsh complains that plus is an unknown type and reverts back to a dumb terminal. Is there something I have to do with termcap other than just add the entry? Or is termcap broken, or my terminal or something? here's the termcap entry I added p0|plus|Adds Viewpoint 3a+:\ :am:bw:bs:pt:co#80:li#24:\ :cd=80\EY:ce=\ET:cl=80\E*:cm=\E=%+ %+ :\ :up=^K:ho=^^:kb=\b:nd=\f:so=\E0Q\E):se=\E(:\ :kd=^J:kh=^^:kl=\b:kr=^L:ku=^K: Thanks Trenton Schulz twschulz@cord.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
