Assume you have an HP 2623

at home which you dial up on, but your ofﬁce terminal is hardwired and

known in

/etc/ttytype .

export TERM; TERM=‘tset - -m dialup:2623‘

Suppose you are accessing the system through a switching network that can connect any system to any

incoming modem line in an arbitrary combination, making it nearly impossible to key on what port you are

coming in on. Your ofﬁce terminal is an

HP 2622, and your home terminal is an

HP 2623 running at 1200

baud on dial-up switch ports. Sometimes you use someone else’s terminal at work, so you want it to verify

what terminal type you have at high speeds, but at 1200 baud you are always on a 2623. Note the place-

ment of the question mark and the quotes to protect the

> and ? from interpretation by the shell.

export TERM; TERM=‘tset - -m ’switch>1200:?2622’ -m ’switch<=1200:2623’‘

All of the above entries fall back on the terminal type speciﬁed in

/etc/ttytype if none of the condi-

tions hold. The following entry is appropriate if you always dial up, always at the same baud rate, on many

different kinds of terminals. Your most common terminal is an

HP 2622. It always asks you what kind of

terminal you are on, defaulting to 2622.

export TERM; TERM=‘tset - ?2622‘

If the ﬁle /etc/ttytype is not properly installed and you want to key entirely on the baud rate, the fol-

lowing can be used:

export TERM; TERM=‘tset - -m ’>1200:2624’ 2622‘

VARIABLES

SHELL if csh, generate csh commands; otherwise generate sh(1) commands.

TERM the (canonical) terminal name.
