The problem is that your AIX machine lacks a "terminfo" entry for Cygwin. You can probably get around it by changing the value of the TERM environment variable to something that AIX does support, and that is similar to Cygwin -- perhaps `xterm'. -- PGP Fingerprint: 3E7B A3F3 96CA 8958 ACC5 C8BD 6337 0041 C01C 5276 From: Jonathan Fosburgh [SMTP:syjef AT mail DOT mdanderson DOT org] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 2:42 PM To: meshkp AT pjm DOT com Cc: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Re: When using CYGWIN to telnet to an AIX machine I got the following error" 0602-108 CYGWIN is not a recognized terminal type " On Wed, 10 Jul 2002 14:32:45 -0400 meshkp AT pjm DOT com wrote: > No problems when teleneting to Linux and using VI.

Things to look at: Check your $TERM on the AIX system. (Actually, now that I see the full subject line of the message, this is definitely part of the problem) Use vt100 or something similar. What shell are you using? This might affect some things, though I am not too sure. Are you using stock vi that comes with AIX? It is definitely going to be different than anything on your Linux or *BSD systems, which use elvis or vim or something else and call it vi. If you have the option, try installing vim (there is probably a prebuilt version on Bull). -- ************************************************************************ Jonathan Fosburgh |Certified AIX Administrator Software Systems Spec.
