I just telnet'ed into my Slink box from my LRP (router), using netcat.
I tried to run mutt and slrn and got a message about the TERM being
incorrect. Seems that the Term is
VT1 root-Deb-Slink:~# echo $TERM
linux
and on the telnel link it is network. So I just did, on the router,
export TERM=linux and now everything works.
HTH, YMMV, HAND
