Subject: A bit OT: vi in telnet session
X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under Emacs 20.6.1

Hi *,

I guess this posting is a bit off-topic, but I don't know any news-
group that would be more appropriate. (If you do, please tell me.)

When I telnet to a machine (running SunOS 5.7), using the telnet-
program that comes with 1.1.4 Cygwin an start vi I get this error-
message:

bash-2.03$ vi
cygwin: Unknown terminal type
Visual needs addressable cursor or upline capability
:

Is there a simple solution (like setting TERM to something else)
to this?

Thanks,
  Andreas
