Say,

I am in the process of attempting to switch from Handshake to VLT to commun-  
icate with our HP-9000 at school. The HP is running HP-UX (sorry don't know
what revision). When I login the HP partially aborts the process with the
message " Missing ]." At this point I am logged in but my .login script has
not been executed. The HP does not know my terminal type. I really like VLT, 
but I don't have this problem with Handshake.
    Does anyone know (or can point me to some documentation of) the 
details of the communication that goes on between the host and a dialup 
terminal during the initial connect? Can VLT be altered so that HPUX recog-
nizes it as vt100?
    We have pretty poor phone lines out here in the outback (especially 
when it rains) and VLT seems more stable with regard to noise. I am also 
suffering from the phone-dialing-window-big-time-crash with Handshake V2.20c 
so I'd like to switch. 

Please send Help,
