[WBEL-users] Stupid TERM Question

[Wes A. Jones]

make sure you don't have something that changes your environment 
settings like in a .tcshrc or .csh or /etc/csh.login (or whatever it is).

You have a SETENV TERM = whatever, as well as SET TERM = whatever....

During boot up on the box, you have all the different font styles you 
can pick from. I've heard that even though those are for console, it 
sometimes has an affect on telnet/ssh consoles.

Maybe get the latest /etc/termcap from http://www.tuxedo.org/terminfo

outside of that, I'm out of ideas.
