i have this theory.  if it isn't complicated and convoluted, then tiy aren't
trying hard enough. :)

telnet correctly passes TERM when i telnet in from other hosts (even from VMS)
but in this case i don't think there is a TERM that ever gets set (LAT to cisco
which just passes off to telnet, no actual login done on the cisco) to be passed
along.  what i need, is an "exceptions list" where it checks to see where i am
telnetting from, and if i am coming from mole.arkhm.ws to force the TERM since
there is none there.  maybe i could just change the default to something more
sane like vt100 instead of sun and just let it be done that way.  hmmmm.  
that's not a bad idea.
