I know of two possibilities...
The simple fix (that gets tedious after a while) is to do an
"export TERM=xterm" on the AIX machine each time you login.
The nearly as simple fix (that is automatic once it is set up) is
to create a ~/.terminfo/x/ directory on your non-Debian account.
Copy /etc/terminfo/x/xterm-debian from your Debian machine to the
new .terminfo directory and, in your non-Debian machine shell
initialization scripts (i.e. .bashrc), add "export
TERMINFO=~/.terminfo". That will do it. I also tend to make a
copy of terminfo/r/rxvt for machines that don't have rxvt
entries.
