    The way I handle that problem is to run screen(1) (from the
    sysutils/screen port) locally, and set TERM=vt102 on the remote
    machine. Works perfectly.

    The "correct" solution is of course to upgrade the terminal
    descriptions on the remote machine to include 'cons25', but that might
    not be practical in this case.
