I have used VT100 and VLT but NComm is much better than those IMHO. But I have one _problem_. When I use it to log on at work, the UNIX machine doesn't know what kind of terminal I'm using, so I tell it VT100. This just doesn't work. VI is all screwed up. Lines longer than 80 chars go off the right side of the screen into the abyss, and I constantly have to use to repaint the screen so I can see my changes. The other TERMs I have tried are 4425, 630-24, and hp2621. None of these work right either. Can someone please tell me what the term type is for NComm, or if you suspect I have options set wrong in NComm what do you think I should set them to? Please help me!
