on machine your trying to connect to this host do:
setenv TERM vt100
or export TERM=vt100

eitherone should work depending on your settings.
and never ever use telnet.
kill the telnetd and bury it. tlenet is never safe and can be only use don
devices than can only be logged with telnet and if you do do it from same
network so u cant be sniffed.
