I have this same problem:  if I 'cu' to a remote system and tell
it my terminal type is vt100, the ANSI interpreter under SCO 3.2.2
really messes a lot of escape sequences up (especially those having
to do with insert/delete line--try hitting ^O in Emacs).  Do I need
to ship my terminfo description over to all potential remote systems,
or is there some terminal type which I can use?

Since I suspect a number of people have run into this problem, please
post the solution if you have one.
