i got the same issue, with redhat, tru64, solaris, aix, hpux etc.. what i do is just put a line in /etc/profile (assuming your using a BASH compadible shell on the remote end) and put: export TERM=vt100 that usually fixes it for me ..although the terminal i use may not be fully gnome compliant ..i have no complaints about the emulation. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
