RE: more about garbled terminal
Sorry for being dense maybe, but I don't understand the solution. What does
screen have to do with garbled stuff? The problem I face is TERM=linux when
I login via CRT. Nothing to do with screen.

Good news! I installed the `screen' package and it works like a charm... I
set my configuration to ansi and used grep to make sure and this is what I
got:
TERM=ansi
_=TERM
Then I shut down the telnet session, started a new one, logged in using
vt100 and this is what I got after using grep:
TERM=vt100
If that isn't enough, I tested it further by setting the terminal type in my
client to dec-whatever the hell. This is my responce from grep:
TERM=dec-vt100
So in conclusion, this is the answer to all of the problems. Let me know if
it works for you.
