Rather, I have a "shell account" on my isp, into which I dial via C-Kermit. On my sun, I need *some* kind of a screen that I can type commands into, eg "ls", "pwd", etc, and even "kermit". So I run kermit, which dials out to my isp, establishes a connection, etc. Then, once I'm in a shell (window) over there (I specify "tcsh" for my shell), I can then, *over at my ISP*, trn chooses an editor, eg vi (which on this net-bsd system is actually nvi, I am told) where I see the horrible colors. It is only trn (running nvi for me for a followup) that causes this horrible color. ...
