You can always increase compatibility with other systems by changing cons25 to vt220 in /etc/ttys. Not all systems have a cons25 termcap entry, but they all know about good ol' vt220 terminals. FreeBSD's virtual ttys work fine then. One other thing that I like doing is to make sure that I don't use too many virtual ttys, and fire up screen on the first 2-3. Only four ttyv terminals are more than enough for me. $ grep -v '^[ ]*#' /etc/ttys | grep ttyv ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure Then, I fire up screen and make sure that my TERM is set to vt220. $ ps xa | grep 'v[0-9] .* screen' 43035 v0 S+ 0:00.12 screen -ar 47203 v1 S+ 0:00.34 screen -ar This combination has worked remarkably well both for local programs and remotely displayed stuff from a Solaris, Linux or BSD system :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
