	I have had some luck by setting the pseudo-tty entries to be a vt100
	type window. If you get one where term is set to dumb, vi does not
	work.

	To change these, use "devices" and go 1 by 1, or edit the /etc/ports
	file. There is an entry there for every port. After you change the
	file, there is a good chance you have to re-boot.

	(I personally use the "devices" command so that I don't get in trouble).

	It seems once the prot is "told" you have a dumb terminal, changing
	TERM or doing tset does not fix it. (!!)

	Of course, if anybody else knows better, by all means let me know
	what I have to do.

	Good luck.
