:
Terminal emulation in Unix (any kind of Unix including Linux and BSD) is
done by the console screen or xterm window, not by Kermit. In your previous
setup, the console screen or xterm on the Linux box you were Telnetting from
happened to be compatible with the escape sequences sent and expected by
your application. Go to that Linux box, get a shell prompt, and type:
echo $TERM
Hopefully there is an environment on your BSD box that supports the same
kind of emulation. I believe the Linux and BSD consoles are different,
but if you use an xterm window for Telnetting, it should be the same in
both cases, and probably will work.
