Terminal settings from linux to solaris
When I log in from my linux workstation (CentOS4) to a solaris 8 server using SSH or telnet, the terminal settings don't seem to work well. When I tail or vi a file, I get a blank screen or no response, and I am no longer able to interact with the session. I have to type the escape sequence to get out of the session. The TERM env is set to xterm or vt100 on both sides. Has anyone ever run into this problem?

well i managed to re-export the TERM env with ansi on bash or ksh
Code:
export TERM=ansi

ANSI seems to do the same thing. tail is busted, vi doesn't display text and shell interaction is lost.
