Whenever I'm trying to telnet/ssh into a solaris 8 server from my linux workstation, the terminal settings do not play well with each other. I'm not able to vi files properly and tail does not work on the solaris server. TERM env is set to vt100 on both sides. Has anyone ever seen this problem?

when doing vi does it go into open mode? If so try doing the below, it has worked for me ion the past when running into such problems;
A.) Resolve... If already in the [open mode] of vi, you can do the following:
1 Q { shift/q, enable EX mode}
2 :set term=sun { set the term-type }
3 :1vi { go to full-screen VIsual editor }
If that does not work try;
setting # TERM=sun; export TERM
instead of vt100 once you have telneted in.
Thanks
