I have an account at Best, which says they are using FreeBSD software. I work at Sun Microsystems where I am using a Sun Ultra 1 workstation running (I think) Solaris 2.5.1 and CDE. Since I switched from OpenWindows (sun-cmd) to CDE (dtterm), I've had a lot of difficulty using vi when telnetting into my Best account. I found a dtterm entry in /etc/termcap on the Best server, but my visual display in vi is pretty garbled. Can you shed any light on why that is and what I can do to fix it? I've experimented with different environment variables but have been unable to find a combination that clears up the problem.
