] I assume this is also your problem. To access Unix systems, Ansi or vt52 is ] not good enough. You need vt100 or higher. I have used my MSX to accesss NLnet, before I configured internet under Linux. Anyway, I just told the shell that I was using a vt52 terminal, and it was supported :-) (remember, Unix has its roots way back in the 70's when the DEC vt52 terminal was a common terminal type). Depending on the login shell you are using, you should enter one of the following commands to set the terminal: kourne shell, bourne shell, posix shell, bash, ???: TERM=vt52 export TERM csh, tcsh, ???: setenv TERM vt52 If you want to be sure if your internet access provider supports the vt52 terminal, you can enter the following command at the Unix prompt: strings /etc/termcap | grep -i vt52 If you get some lines on your screen with VT52, vt52, or something like that in it, you can be sure that vt52 is supported.
