Greetings,

I have noticed rather unpleasant/primitive scrolling behaviour when 
telnetting to another box from my 2.1.0 machine.  

This is what happens:

Telnet from Linux box to FreeBSD box.

1) Scrolling is smooth and in color.

Telnet from FreeBSD box to same Linux box.

2) Scrolling is "jumpy" and in B+W.

Is the Linux terminal implementation vastly superior to FreeBSD or do I 
have a misconfig?  I'm using syscons with colorls on the BSD machine and 
the default console on the Linux machine.  However, for compatibility the 
TERM is set to scoansi when telnetting.

Is there a way to "smooth out" the terminal behaviour when the BSD box 
"places the call?"

Thanks,

Craig
