For example, in order to connect to by friend's linux box, i have to redefine the term type ('env def TERM vt100') under telnet, otherwise the connection is refused. When connecting to my school's sun workstations, applications like pine, fail to page text properly (the very last line on the screen is the only thing that changes). I've tried setting my term type from cons25 to vt100, however when I do this, `clear` clears the screen but leaves the prompt in the middle of the screen after it has been cleared. I've also tried using vt200, but again connecting hosts don't seem to recognize this type and some applications like vi and pine act wierd. So, if anybody has any ideas or suggestions on what I could do to correct this, I'd appreciate it. th
