neither of this would have dtterm (see second message from OP)
Ok, so he's probably not using Windows or Linux, but those were both
reasonable guesses given the information available (except that
comp.os.linux is a hierarchy, not a single newsgroup). Note that
santosh didn't specifically say that the OP should go to one of those
groups; the OP should be able to figure out which newsgroup is
appropriate for his system. comp.unix.solaris is a possibility, but
that also is only a guess.
noting that the usual redirection to the above-cited newsgroups in
this group is usually done to be insulting...
Nonsense. We try to redirect posters to newsgroups where they'll be
able to get good answers to their questions. There is nothing even
vaguely insulting in santosh's reply.
What reply would have met your standards for politeness?
