When I use my win95 box to log into my FreeBSD box via Telnet, everything seems to work right as far as logging in . When trying to bring up the email program, Pine, I get the following error "Your terminal, of type "ansi", is lacking functions needed to run pine." This problem just recently happen and I'm not sure what caused it. In addition to this problem, I am unable to use the arrow keys in the editors, it give me things like this "[B[B." I think it might have something to do with terminal mode, but I'm not sure. When telneting to other machine, the pine program seems to work fine. There is one difference that I noticed between the two machines. When using Telnet with my machine, the FreeBSD box, it recognizes my terminal mode as being ansi. When using the other machine, the one that pine works on, it recognizes my terminal mode as being vt100. If someone could help me fix this problem or at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks Dan
