I just moved 300 accounts from a Linux box to FreeBSD 2.0.5
and we're having a horrible time with termcap. A number of
people are having a problem with more or less putting the
prompt a few lines above the bottom of the screen, or 
overwriting existing text. The psedoterminals have 'network'
in /etc/ttys, so I don't know where TERM is getting set --
it's not in their .login or profile.

Separate Question: what happened to the '-d' option in more?

later, david
