i have an annoying "feature" on my system, it involves the zsh
and termcap...

whenever i telnet from some random machine, slowaris seems to be
the system least liking freebsd, unless i set the TERM to vt100,
the connection drops, coz of "too long termcap entry", i get this
when i telnet from another freebsd too, if i use screen...

and my pal had some serious probs with his slowaris, i dunno what
he did but it took a while until he was able to telnet, coz the
normal TERM=vt100 wasnt enough... he's not unix-clueless.

there's some buffer in zsh, right?, that's not big enough... is
there already working workaround, coz i doubt i'm the only one
with the prob...
