You can set the environment for telnet through the ~/.telnetrc file.
However, you can just as easily set the term type after logging in:
ksh, bash: export TERM=vt100
csh, tcsh setenv TERM vt100
I use SuSE 7.1, and when I use ssh to the BLU server, my termtype is set to
vt100.
Or here's another way from my .login script at the World:
# Set for your terminal type...
# you can change "vt300" to the name of the terminal you use
set noglob;
eval `tset -s -m ':?vt100'`
unset noglob
I also suggest you use ssh whenever possible rather than telnet.
