I'm trying out KA9Q (NET.EXE) for connecting a PC to a Sun Sparc1 (SunOS4.1.1)
over RS-232.  I use "telnet" to make the connection.  I'm curious what
I should tell the Sun about my terminal emulation.  I was hoping
that vt100 would be the emulation, but trying to edit a file is
very difficult because of the mismatch of terminal type.  I tried
setting my term on the Sun to several other common types with no
luck.

Can anyone help me out here?  Is there someway that I can tell KA9Q
what type of terminal it is?  Are there other alternative PC programs
for running PPP (or SLIP) besides KA9Q?
