If you're not on a VT100 (or some superset thereof), telling VMS that you're on a VT100 can result in some really, really obnoxious behavior. Fortunately, VT100's were sufficiently popular that lots of terminals emulated them. Which led to lots of terminal emulators emulating them, including xterm. If your bash is running in an xterm, try "TERM=vt100", and then doing a telnet. That assumes that the VMS box is using the terminal type passed it by telnet. You might check with your VMS sysadmin, to find out how it's determining the terminal type. I can't help with that - the last time I worked on VMS, it was still >50% PDP-11 code. > Also, at this moment in time I have a particular login account that I > would like to add ppp access too. When I try to run ppp under this > account it tells me access denied. What can I do to correct this? If you are using userland ppp, check man page. It provides the details on doing that. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
