Just a dumb thought... but if you enter VT100 (with capitalization) at the prompt does that work?
Nah... Terminal type? [unknown] VT100 tset: terminal type VT100 is unknown Same thing with other terminal types: Terminal type? vt52 Terminal type is vt52. tcsh: No entry for terminal type "unknown" tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.This is from another NetBSD machine using nothing more complicated than cu -s 9600 -f -l /dev/tty00.
