Since I am still actually receiving via the linux terminal definition, I was surprised it worked as well as it does. The cons25 must use many of the same escape sequences that vt100 style terminals do. The arrows appeared to work and the screen seemed to be formatted well enough. I left $TERM set to cons25 and tried vi on a file. It started out okay but some of the escape sequences are not compatible as things soon got messy. Even so, it is nice to know that sysinstall can be remotely run without too much strangeness.
