By setting term=pc3 or term=ibmpc i can get things to work on the console.

when doing remote work, setting freebsd2.1 and the machine i am 
logging in from to xterm isn't working correctly. 

here are the stty settings for freebsd:

speed 9600 baud; 65 rows; 80 columns;
lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl
        -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo
        -extproc
iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr ixon -ixoff ixany imaxbel -ignbrk
        brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk
oflags: opost onlcr -oxtabs
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow
        -dtrflow -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
        eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^H; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;
        min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = ^T;
        stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;


i thought having xterm on both ends would allow me to make the window 
larger smaller etc and xterm would take care of it. Starting vi <file> 
remotely (logged into freebsd) i don't see the file briefly.


here are the stty settings for the sparc2:

speed 9600 baud, 24 rows, 80 columns
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -crtscts 
-ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc 
ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel 
isig iexten icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop 
echoctl -echoprt echoke 
opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel 
erase  kill   werase rprnt  flush  lnext  susp   intr   quit   stop   eof
^H     ^U     ^W     ^R     ^O     ^V     ^Z/^Y  ^C     ^\     ^S/^Q  ^D
