Re: solaris + linux
FYI: CDE's Terminal does color. As soon as my DSL is connected at home I will be installing stuff such as GNOME, but until then Terminal works fine. Of course I need to know how to make the cursor not blink by default... :) -Ken -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]AIM: ScopusFest

Using TERMINFO=/path/to/ncurses-5.0/share/terminfo doesn't help, in particular. After trying many alternative terminals (rxvt, aterm, wterm, eterm, gnome-terminal, dtterm, etc.) and having serious objections to each, I've happily settled on what I should have tried first: a newer xterm. http://dickey.his.com/xterm/ Thanks, Thomas.

I've had luck with rxvt, although if you're a real purist, the xterm-color atftp.x.org:/contrib should work too.

Re: solaris + linux
Suresh: thanks, vt100 seems to work the best. I haven't figured out how to get color out of an xterm under Solaris anyway, so the black and white means to loss of quality.

Switch to a commonly supported terminal type - say vt100 if nothing else works. Of course, under vt100, your brightly colored mutt goes right back to black and white ... --suresh

By personal experience I can promise that it works fine to connect via ssh from Solaris@Sparc to Linux@AMD and call mutt. HTH Frank
