Better, but not ideal.  You've avoided having the xclient (kterm) speaking 
to the X-server over the network, but it's better to use fast IPC.  Remove
the "-display 133.6.33.14:0" -- your startup scripts for X should (!)
give you the best value for $DISPLAY (usually ":0.0") to avoid
unnecessary overhead.

Well this explains why ^C and @ don't do what you expect.  You are
expecting the interrupt function (intr) and a literal @ respectively.

Your current settings have ^? (del) as the intr character, and @ as the
line kill character (delete to beginning of line).

The direct solution is simply:

    bash$ stty kill 			# typed "stty kill ctrl-V ctrl-U"
    bash$ stty intr 			# typed "stty kill ctrl-V ctrl-C"
    					# (the ctrl-V unnecessary here,
					# but it's nice to know how to
					# quote)

But what you probably are looking for is:

    bash$ export TERM=kterm		# or TERM=xterm if kterm isn't
    					# in terminfo/termcap

    bash$ eval `tset -s $TERM`
    Erase is delete.
    Kill is control-U (^U).
    Interrupt is control-C (^C).
    bash$ stty -a
    speed 9600 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 0;
    intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
    eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;
    lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

Most likely your remote system doesn't know anything about kterms.
