I recommended vt220 or xterm-color for my test-kernels which have vt100
built-in, not for general usage. And I picked xterm-color because it
seems to be better at dealing with odd  screen-sizes. ( with vt220 I'd
end up with a 80x24 window in the top-left corner after running minicom,
with xterm-color it would be ok )

Anyway, the GENERIC kernels should default to the sun emulation.=20

have fun
Michael
