terminal - unknown

[Rabeeh Khoury <rabeeh@galileo.co.il>]

Hi

I'm running my embedded system using serial console ttyS0 ; the serial
driver is based on standard serial driver I took from the char devices
(16550 compatible) ; the problem that the terminal that is opened over
the serial line is declared 'unknown' which prevents me from running
programs such as linuxconf.

do you have any suggestions how can I change the terminal type ?
