Telnet from Linux to HP-UX - Messy Screen

[tony500]

I use mandrake 8.1 and telnet to an HP unix server on a LAN. When I telnet in, my environment is messed up. When I run commands such as `ls -l` it is a sideways, out-of-line mess. What is the best way to make the TERM on the Linux box match the TERM on the HP Unix box? (and is that the problem?) I'm using a standard shell from the linux desktop. I've tried to use the command:
export TERM=vt100
also: vt220, vt320.

I've tried each of those emulations both before and after telneting. No luck. Its all slanted and I can't backspace or anything. I'm just telneting from the linux prompt. Everything looks fine in linux, but when I telnet to Unix and login it goes bad. I can telnet in from Windows and I don't have this problem, but who wants to use Windows?! I don't know what else to do though...
I tried Gnome also, but it didn't help and working from the command line yields the same results.

Has anyone out there ever dealt with this before? You can usually find me at

When you telnet from gnome terminal windows to hp-ux, type command resize. I hope that fixes your problem
