Changing terminal type

[drhixson]

I have a SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 server with 8 terminals connected via a 12-port DB25M DigiBox. I am trying to add a 9th terminal, I have verified all the settings in mpi, but the terminal still says terminal (unknown) while all my others have terminal (wyse50). I beleive I use the ditty command. Can anyone assist?<br><br>-Dennis

If I remember correctly , you hilight the unknown and it gives a drop down menu of choices. I will check on one of my customers machines to verify. <p>Ed Fair<br><a href=mailto: efair@atlnet.com> efair@atlnet.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. <br>
