I'm rushing off to work, so only a quick reply to all here.  Firstly,
thanks to all of you who are giving suggestions. 

Shawn, I guess I wasn't clear--I blame it on it being so late at night.
The behavior you describe is what's happening--it will accept the log
in, but I can't navigate the menu.  (And yes, I know about the web one,
I find the telnet one much quicker. ) :)

Curt, I'll try to get a listing of the different environ variables
that it shows when I get home tonight.  However, for both the 
FreeBSD and Linux/Solaris sessions, it showed the TERM as xterm.  
I have tried exporting TERM to vt100, and also to console25, 
FreeBSD's default console mode, without success.

Steve I've always used mlterm in FreeBSD if in X when I do it.  Thinking
that might be the issue, I did try with a plain vanilla xterm in CentOS
and Fedora.  In Solaris, I was using the live CD which defaults to a
Gnome desktop, so that was some variant of Gnome-terminal--I called it
from the graphic interface. 

Many many thanks to all and I will get a list of the environ variables
tonight.

Angel: The same thing you do. 
Buffy: Okay. What do I want? 
Angel: To kill 'em. To kill 'em all. 
Buffy: Sorry, that's incorrect. But, you do get this watch and a 
year's supply of turtle wax. What I want is to be left alone.
