I often have to manually set my terminal type to 'vt100' every time I
log into my linux box from the windoze machine in my office.
export TERM=vt100
then all works fine. You might also want to look into using the stty
command to rebind certain keys to match what your terminal emulator
sends. as in:
stty erase ^?
where you press the backspace character to get ^?
I agree that the telnet app that comes with windoze sucks, but I
found it easier to find these workarounds than to install a new telnet
client on every windoze machine I visit when I want to telnet to my
real machine. Hope this helps.
