- The UN*X side, of course! (;-))
- Ask your sysadmin, whether there is an entry for the terminal type
- "vt100" in the proper configuration file. Are there any VT100's hooked
- to the UN*X-machine you're trying to access?
- You might have to change your .login or .cshrc on the UN*X-machine to
- set the terminal type explicitely. (.cshrc only if you're using
- c-shell).
