- Sounds probable, but I don't think it's a bug in kermit or term. It
- sounds more like the ANSI interpretation stuff in the console driver.

- The simplest fix is to upload your /etc/termcap to the UNIX host (say,
- to a file called .termcap in your home directory) and type:
-
- unixhost% setenv TERMCAP ~/.termcap
- unixhost% set term = minix
-
- (assuming you're using tcsh or csh on the unix host).
