I just switched back to cons25.

I use /stand/sysinstall (and other FreeBSD programs that screwed up when I
was set to a PCVT console), Linux systems, OSF systems and VAX/VMS systems... 
How can I make screen emulations work?  No matter which system I'm in?  
Linux -- with an environment line in .telnetrc -- connects to everything and
does the right stuff.  This technique isn't working for me in FreeBSD.
