Sorry, I probably should've clarified this from the beginning... I'm using Kermit 95 on Windows XP Pro to connect to my Linux server. (Kermit 95 is a commercial, Windows-only product; while ckermit is the *nix version and freely available.) That said... I believe I've done the equivalent of what you're asking. I ran the "export TERM=vt220" within the SSH session (on the server) and then changed Kermit 95 to match that terminal type. (This should have the same effect as what you suggested, right?) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
