several ways to do this. one would be to check the tty in one of the profile/rc scripts and set the term to whatever. another might be to make a seperate user for that purpse, and change the term in their .bashrc. its also possible to set the term and run a telnet/ssh/rlogin on one of the tty's in inittab. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Fri, 3 Mar 2000, Francesco wrote:

Thanks for help so far.

Is there any way in which I can, for instance, add an option to inittab so that one of my ctrl-alt-Fkey cominations will put me into eg a VT100 or ANSI 'mode' so that I can easily log on to a particular machine at work (over whose inner workings I have no control - it is runing SCO by the way)?

Many TIA

Francesco
