I believe it came off of arpanet. In regard to Donalds Q, Im not sure it will do what you ask. Regarding Edward's comment this most definatly works at 9600 baud, I use it there often. The termcap is Am, I source the following file when I log in on my mac with macterminal. It works fine at any baud rate I've tried. hope it helps dave !uwvax!geowhiz!schuh # TERMCAP for macintosh. # # Am|macintosh|Apple Macintosh with MacTerminal:\ echo "setting up for macterminal" setenv TERM vt100 setenv TERMCAP ':am:bl=^G:bs:cd=\E[J:ce=\E[K:cl=\E[;H\E[2J:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:\ :co#80:cr=^M:dl=\E[M:do=\E[B:ho=\E[H:kb=^H:kd=\E[B:kh=\E[H:\ :kl=\E[D:kn#4:kr=\E[C:ku=\E[A:k1=\EOP:k2=\EOQ:k2=\EOR:k4=\EOS:\ :le=\E[D:li#24:nd=\E[C:nl=^J:pt:se=\E[m:sf=\ED:so=\E[7m:sr=\EM:\ :ue=\E[m:up=\E[A:us=\E[1;4m:xn:' # # # END OF TERMCAP #
