The possible solutions include: [1) adding support for the PS/2 console to the SUN or VAXen's termcap [or terminfo files. All terminfo entries for supported AIX monitors in native mode (not X Windows) are based on the `hft' definition. The hft software in the tty driver provides pretty good ANSI terminal emulation. Use the `ansi' termcap entry on the Suns. Works fine for me on ULTRIX machines. [2) use the -e vt100 option of AIX telnet to [cause telnet to emulate a vt100 terminal... This may be necessary on the VMS machines. Chuck Karish karish@mindcraft.com (415) 493-9000 karish@forel.stanford.edu
