i installed a nice copy of VI, and ifconfig into mine..

I installed (I think) Debian package pointed to from developer's site. VI barely works (one has to refresh the screen all the time). As pagers and other curses (or just termcap/terminfo) based things work OK, it must be vi itself. Where did you get yours?

Thanks
