I have also found that both sides of the connection need to be the same for the best results. So, for example, in Gnome Terminal, I make sure I am using TERM=vt100. When I connect to other systems, either I enter TERM=vt100 or it is in the startup file, e.g. .bash_profile

immediately after you login to the remote system. If it is different from the local system, then I suggest that you change one or the other so that they are the same, and see what happens ... cheers, drl
