Hi, Max. The thing you might do is make sure that your termcap file and
terminfo database are in sync between your SPARC and Debian machines. 

Make sure that you copy the xterm-debian terminfo and termcap entries to
the Sun boxes and copy the dtterm entries from the Suns to Debian if it is
not already there.

If you are using Solaris 2.5 or better, I know that the Sun terminfo
database is in /usr/share/lib/terminfo and in Debian it is in
/usr/lib/terminfo

Which OS are you running on the SPARCs?
