vi problem, sco -> redhat

I rlogin from a sco box to a redhat box and run /bin/vi. Pgup, Pgdn, and arrow up/down keys don't work. I enter "export TERM=ansi80x25" and run vi again.Everything works just like I like it. Except the cursor turns into a blinking overscore. When I exit vi and close the connection to redhat, the cursor stays an overscore on the sco box.I've tried copying the ansi definition from a solaris box (which works) to the redhat box (solaris:/usr/share/terminfo/a/ansi to redhat:/usr/share/terminfo/a/ansi-sss) Export TERM=ansi-sss, I still get the blinking overscore. How do I make the Pgup, Pgdn, and arrow keys work and get rid of ALL color using redhat's ansi definition, or get rid of the blinking overscore cursor using ansi80x25?

SCO has a very different definition of "ansi" than Linux.

There are many articles about this at my site but see Where can I get a Linux terminfo for "scoansi"? or a SCO terminal for Linux? for starters (otherwise search "linux sco terminfo" at my site).

Thanks Tony, I found a scoansi-old and scoansi-new terminfo that comes with redhat. With a few stty cmds from Brian White, via your site, the "old" works for me.
