I am having a problem using tset under the Bourne shell under SUN OS 4.0.3. When I telnet to another system and login under the Bourne shell, the following .profile executes, but doesn't prompt for confirmation that the vt100 description is the one to be used: echo "The following is a list of commonly used terminals" echo "Designation Terminal Type" echo "adm3a Lear Siegler (ADM)" echo "aaa-48 Ann-Arbor Ambassador in 48 line mode" echo "aaa-60 Ann-Arbor Ambassador in 60 line mode" echo "dm3025 Datamedia 3025a" echo "h19 Heath H19 or Zenith" echo "hp2621 Hewlett Packard HP2621" echo "hp2648-iv Hewlett Packard HP2648A" echo "sun Sun Microsystems Workstation console" echo "tvi912 Televideo 912, 920" echo "tvi950 Televideo 950" echo "vi200 Visual 200" echo "vt100 Digital Equipment VT100 (default)" echo "vt102 Digital Equipment VT102" echo "vt200 Digital Equipment VT200" echo "Press Return to select vt100, or enter the appropriate terminal" eval `/usr/ucb/tset -S -Q -m 'tip-dialup:?vt100' -m 'network:?vt100' -m 'dumb:?vt100' -m 'dialup:?vt100' -m 'fast-dialup:?vt100' -m 'unknown:?vt100' -m 'pdn-dialup:?vt100'` PATH=:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/5bin:/usr/hosts:/usr/local/etc:/usr/etc:/usr/sccs:/usr/local/private:/usr/local/sybase/bin:/usr/local/informix/bin:/usr/share/local/ops/bin:/usr/share/local/igswprod/igv53/bin:/local/bin:/usr/etc/install:/usr/etc/install/script:/usr/informix/bin:/usr/local/X11/bin:/usr/local/cap:.:~/bin:~/etc export PATH I suspect that there may be another -m category for telnet, but I have no idea what it might be. The possible values for the -m argument are poorly documented. Any ideas? -- Will Nelson Internet: will@presto.ig.com Intelligenetics, Inc.
