Terminal emulation

[eyedoc1975]

Hi,
Please help with a following problem.
I have a branch office connected to a server in the main
office running SCO 5.04. I have a Wyse 325 terminal in the
branch office and connects to the server using a dial-up
connection. When connection is established, server always
asks for the terminal type. What can I do to let server
know about terminal automatically so that I will not have
to type wy325 at each time?
Thanks in advance.

i don't knw sco, try putting
TERM=wy325; export TERM
in $HOME/.profile -----------
when they don't ask you anymore, where they are come from, and they don't tell you anymore, where they go ... you'r getting older !

You probably have a line such as the following in your ~/.profile:

[tt]eval `tset -m scoansi:${TERM:-scoansi} -m :\?${TERM:-vt220} -r -s -Q`[/tt]

Comment it out (by putting a # in front of the line) and add a line after it reading: TERM=wy325 ; export TERM

or eval `tset -s` which reads the /etc/ttytype to get the terminal type. So if you login from any other terminal you don't get trashed. Ed Fair
