X-perts: 

here is an easy one for you....

I run X11R4 on my Sun 3/60 and am having the weirdest problem getting
xterm to work properly via telnet.  When I use telnet to get to a
random host, I find that my screen get wedged if I use curses-type
stuff, I cannot use simple programs like "more" or "vi" and that *ANY*
screen mgt. type stuff I do simply screws up my screen royally.
However, if I "rlogin" or "rsh" to connect to the very same hosts,
"vi", "more" etc.  work great and my screen is fine.  Telnet is 
somehow not liking my xterm windows very much....

What's th' deal with telnet & xterm ?  Am I doing something dreadfully 
wring ? Why do the "r" tools work but telnet doesn't ????

I thought that this one was going to be simple, but I am about ready 
to climb the walls.....grrrr....

Any help sincerely apreciated,
