I have this in my .bash_profile to set my terminal to vt320 if I'm calling in on the phone which I rarely do anymore:: TTY=`tty` case $TTY in /dev/ttyS?) TERM=vt320 ;; esac Actually, this brings up yet another issue. vt320 doesn't seem to be supported anymore (or maybe it never was on Debian, I don't know). If I try to use vt320 I get: Cannot open termcap file vt320 not builtin or Unknown terminal. Does Debian support vt320? I see there is a vt320 file under /usr/lib/terminfo/v/vt320. Am I doing something wrong? Gerry
