You can also
A) Change Terminal types before telnet'g in.
if your in a remote X, fire up an "xterm &" and then
telnet into the linux box. (assumption due to dtterm)
If you need vt100, try "xterm -tn vt100 &" and then
telnet into the linux box.
B) Put this in your ~/.bash_profile file (if using bash) on the
Linux box:
case $TERM in
dtterm)
TERM="vt100" ; export TERM ;
echo "Terminal set to $TERM" ;;
xterm)
echo "Your terminal is an $TERM" ;;
vt100)
echo "Terminal type is $TERM" ;;
*)
echo "Terminal type is $TERM" ;;
esac
Have fun,
