    Once you've logged into the Solaris box:

    setenv TERM sun

    or whatever equivalent is appropriate for your shell. This works for me
    logging into Sun and SGI boxes from a FreeBSD console. You can also set
    it to vt100, but type sun appears to be slightly more SCO compatibile to
    me.
