Hi all. Recently, I tried to telnet to another ISP on which I had an account and after I entered my password, and the "last login" line came up, it said "terminal type linux unknown", and dumped me. when I tried it using Hyperterm on my other machine, it worked since Hyperterm was set to Vt100. How do I tell Linux to tell the telnet program to tell the remote host i'm using vt100, or one of the vt family? thanks.
