What is $TERM on the Mac? xterm-color? ssh should pass this value through to your debian shell. Make sure you have a terminfo file on the debian box for whatever the mac $TERM is. If the terminal emulation sucks, you'll have to look into improving it by changing terminal emulation settings (on the Mac) or by obtaining a better emulator than the standard terminal window that allows such changes. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . .

Re: [vox-tech] MacOS X, terminals, and ncurses apps
Perhaps take a look at http://macvim.swdev.org/OSX/ and search for "termcap". I remember installing a new termcap from somewhere when I was running 10.1, but I don't remember why, or where I found it. Googling "OS X termcap" might uncover something. I don't use vim, so that's all I've got to contribute...

[vox-tech] MacOS X, terminals, and ncurses apps
I find my self frequently sshing from a MacOS X box to my Debian box using the built-in terminal and ssh applications. When I do this, it's usually to check my email using mutt or compose email using mutt or vim. Here's my problem - the arrow keys don't work, and I don't get color either (Instead, my line-number column in vim is bolded and underlined in a very ugly manner). How can I configure the connection to work correctly (either by changing MacOS X terminal options, or by changing $TERM and choosing/installing an appropriate termcap/terminfo entry)? -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
