terminal in Centos5.10

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

using 5.6.10D4
I've tried setting PFTERM to ansi, vt100, xterm, etc
All I've been able to do is get the colors to switch to black and white and
some other strange things....but can't get line drawing to look good.....
Oh well....I'll see what else I can find.....
Hurricane weather coming soon.....so it can wait....
thanks mark
