Hi Yedidyah. First, I want to thank you for solving my problem... It worked!
I've added a few details that may shed some light on the case (since it has disturbed my sleeping for a few days now).

Hi,I'm using the default Xterm that comes with RH 8.0 distribution which is "gnome-terminal 2.0.1".
First, it's quite discouraging to be called "Linux-Question". We would rather be called "IGLU" or "linux-il" or somthing like that.

Hei All.
I am using SSH to connect to a Virtual machine,
How exactly do you connect? With what application? If it's not itself
a terminal emulator (e.g. a command line ssh), inside what Terminal
Emulator do you run it?
My OS is of course Linux RH 8.0 with Gnome.
I'm not sure what exactly am I emulating but I am connected to a FreeBSD4.6 (running as a virtual machine).
When I am logged into that machine (ASA I'm in), all characters I type (including the prompt) are underlined.
This is very annoying of course and I can't get rid of it....
BTW,
When I am logged to the actual VM terminal (The VMware's terminal) The text appear normal.
Yes, this is the Linux console. It emulates a VT quite close, and the termcap/terminfo entries for terminal type "linux" are usually very good (that is, match the emulation exactly).
Actually, what solved the problem was commenting these three lines form the .cshrc file of the user 'root' on the Virtual machine:
Does anyone has an idea?
It sounds to me as a bad terminal emulator, or an incorrectly-identified one.
If it's on Windows, try TeraTerm or Putty. Not Windows' telnet.exe and not ssh inside a DOS box.
If it's between differnet distributions of Linux, they probably have disagreements about termcap/terminfo.
Also, you might have something like 'set TERM=vt100' in your .cshrc .
Comment it and let the automatic identification do its job.
#if ( $TERM == "linux" ) then
# set prompt="[EMAIL PROTECTED] "
#else
# set prompt="[EMAIL PROTECTED] "
#endif
When these lines are not commented all the characters in the terminal are underlined, ASA I comment them, log out and log in again the underline disappear.
