I woiuld really like colors when i ssh to the > box. That's most likely a terminal setup thing. A combination of the TERM you use on the client side, and the TERM settings of the ssh session. When I use ssh to connect from one of the virtual consoles with TERM=cons25 to a Linux box, and I change my TERM to 'ansi' after I connect, colours display correctly. If I fire up screen(1) on my workstation, and set TERM=vt220 before I ssh, then no colours are shown, and I have a monochrome terminal.
