Re: why the "incomplete termcap" warning? -- RESOLVED

I had earlier written about a warning received when I logged in by
dialing in through a modem.  Art Isbell responded with a "bashful
solution", which I will not report here (since I don't know anything
about bash).  What has cured the problem for me was the response from
Pierce Cantrell (cantrell@ee.tamu.edu), and I'll take the liberty of
posting his response.  (Several others have asked for the solution).

Try something like that below in your .login file. This same problem  
existed in 2.x. I am now running 3.0 with this .login as well without  
problem.

The termcap entries for terminal types of network and dialup are incomplete.

switch($TERM)
case network:
case dialup:
case unknown:
	unsetenv TERMCAP
	set noglob
	@ status=1
	while ($status)
		eval `tset -Q -s -m :\?vt100`
	end
	unset noglob
	set term=$TERM
	clear
	breaksw
default:
	set noglob; eval `tset -Q -s`; unset noglob
	set term=$TERM
	stty -tabs
	breaksw
endsw
stty decctlq intr "^C" erase "^?" kill "^U"
cd
