Your terminal type is hosed.  How, exactly, are you connecting to the 
remote system?  Are you using Windows?  Windows TCP/IP clients often have 
settings for this (or possibly just get a better client, I like Tera Term).

When I ssh from one Linux machine to another, my terminal type stays Linux 
(which, incidentally, is probably the best).  If you are connecting from 
one UNIX/Linux machine to a remote Linux machine, what terminal type do you 
show on the local host?
