Hello,
I have copied Debian's xterm-debian terminfo onto a SunOS computer
(under $HOME/.terminfo), so I can connect from a Debian xterm

However, recently I have started noticing it doesn't work
properly on initial login (backspace doesn't work). Instead,
I have to type in
TERM
Whenever I use ssh (I'm not sure about telnet) to connect to the
slakware boxes at work through an xterm or rxvt and try to use pine and

I can solve this by export TERM=xterm, but I'm just wondering if there
