I don't have screen as an option in my telnet program.  I am using ZOC 
on Windows and it only has the following options:

Ansi BBS
Ansi SCO
Avatar/0+
Linux
QNX 4
SNI97801
Sun CDE
TN3270
TN5250
TTY
TVI 9xx
VT100
VT102
VT220
VT52
Wyse

If I just use TERM=screen on the Debian box but leave Linux in ZOC, the 
lines look the same.  But, only after doing LC_ALL=C.  If I don't do 
that the lines do not draw correctly no matter what I have tried in 
regards to terminal emulation.

Also, I had no problems with this setup when I was using Gentoo Linux.  
The line drawing problem started with Debian.

Thanks,
Jeff
