Subject:   Annoying console (I want it like Linux)

Greetings,

Perhaps someone can direct me to the proper terminal type to avoid some
annoying behaviour.  When I telnet to a remote box to read mail, executing
Pine will reverse my console.  I.e. black letters, white background.  I have
to execute colorls to reset it.  This does not happen when I telnet to the
mail machine from my Linux box.  What is the correct TERM setting for
FreeBSD 2.1.0's console to act like a Linux console.

The default console (Con25) is fine for local work but not so good when
telnetting. (except to another FreeBSD box) 

Thanks,

Craig
