Your terminal and the remote machine probably don't agree on what
terminal emulation to use probably. Go find in the settings of your
terminal program what kind of terminal you have (maybe vt102?) and
check that with the one FreeBSD has detected (echo $TERM). Making
them the same might solve the problem, but my experience is that
none of the commercial terminal/X clients has all the functionality
defined built-in.
