If you mean that I am -ON- the machine running FreeBSD, no I am not. I am
telnetting into the FreeBSD machine. I just started using the VT102
termcap, and all of a sudden, a few things started working, and a few
other things immediately broke (due to the fact that the solution I am now
using (while my Linux box is being fixed) is known to prefer VT100 over
VT102. My goal is to get termcaps and diddle with them until I find a
combination that works best.
But first.. off to get that ncurses thing...
