I've had a similar problem running moria on a SUN 3/50 from remote terminals.
As long as you are on the system console there appears to be no
problem, but when you shift to a remote terminal running vt100, ansi,
etc. moria messes up.  Vi does not.

After some work, I traced the problem to the clear-to-end-of-line
specifier in the termcap file.  By removing that (and creating a new
entry first), I've gotten moria to work fine, albeit a little slow.

Now, however, vi has some rather painful problems.  It occassionally
does not draw the screen correctly.  If I shift back to the standard
ansi or vt100 termcap's everything works fine.  Is it possible that
there is a problem with speed????
