Function Keys, MC and Telnet/SSH

[Todd Suess <tsuess@inspace.net>]

Greetings ppl,

I have recently started to use Midnight Commander a lot on my consoles, but if
I telnet/ssh into my box remotely, I can't seem to get a lot of the 
function keys
to work.  I have played with termtypes and such, but anything in the VT series
in particular seems to function with PF1-PF4, but anything higher does not 
work,
even defining the keys on my remote end to send VT control sequences, etc.
Is it possible to set the remote termtype to linux like it is on the 
VC's?  Does
anyone else have a method they use to translate function keys to a remote
host?  I know I could more than likely use VNC, but I have not tried the Linux
version if it yet, but that is a possability as well.

Any comments are appreiciated,

Todd
