 CB>> yea i realise that, but as you said in the other note, it's not designed to run as a door so.

good point, but then it would try and do ansi determination (this is all from memory :D) so i am thinking along the lines of maybe ther terminal type is not being sent to RA?

is there a way to force it to use a certain terminal type (in this case ANSI) ??

I'll have to dig a little deeper into the RA docs when i can
