Make sure that on the Linux box the terminal setting you're using from
the FreeBSD host (scoansi wasn't it?) supports color, otherwise the
colorls on the Linux host won't produce color even though the FreeBSD
terminal is capable of it.

I tried this and I see what you mean! I did `ls -R /' on console and
after `telnet .' and the difference is definitely noticeable, I'd say
this isn't a deficiency in the FreeBSD console terminal emulation
... the problem is more likely in the networking setup, but I'm not
sure where.
I naively tried increasing the MTU for lo0, but that didn't help
`telnet .'.
