Yes. THe patch is pretty simple:

http://bugs.digium.com/9048

Basically Asterisk explicitly disables colors support when you try to
open a remote terminal. In that patch I explicitly set the terminal
type.

This is a very silly hack - when you use a remote console you could not
care less about the local console. Sadly Asterisk assumes that your
remote console uses exactly the same settings (and escape sequences) as
the local one.

The fact that this has not generated many bug reports only serves to show
how much compatible (to "ansi") are different terminals these days. At
least for the basics.
