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.

Hey, I found something. Go to dselect and look under All Packages and
Opt_misc.... there is a package there called `screen', it says it emulates
different screens on virtual terminals.... its worth a check out...

I see your point if you use the real terminal (monitor hooked to linux
box)
and if you use a telnet. I just hooked up my monitor to my server after I
set the env var to vt100 to satisfy my telnet. The real terminal was
skrewed
up, so I had to set it back to ansi. I suppose it is the telnet daemons
responsibility. I'll have to look into it.

As far as my understanding goes. All of this should be auto configured
and
setup my the interaction btw the terminal and telnet daemon.

How is this not proper? I mean, if you are using vt100, then setting the
environment variable to vt100 should be the proper way. Am I missing
something?
