- Hi Folks!
-
- I am attempting to install the NCSA communication s/w on an IBM PC 55 notebook
- computer.
- In the Configuration file config.tel there is a slot where I am supposed to give
- the video description. The choices are cga, ega, pga, ... vga50. I have selected
- vga50. ( Is this correct ?)
-
- I have also set bios=yes
-
- Now:
- Ftp, finger, work perfectly OK.
-
- When Telnet is executed I am given a message
-
- annot recognize video type- Cannot save screen
- press ESC to exit or any other key to continue.
-
- On continuing:
- sometimes it returns with timeout
- at other times it works OK- i get the login prompt etc.
- But the terminal mode is NOK even if I set the TERM to vt100.
-
- On setting bios=no nothing appears on the display, but for the prompt.
- But login etc proceeds. ( only nothing is echoed on the DISPLAY)
-
- Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong ?
-
- Thanks
