DF's termcap needs to be changed. But racing all possible terminal
(emulators) to grab their changes is a definite no-go. There is such
a nifty feature like setting TERMCAP environment so that the termcap
entry corresponding to TERM is overridden. Sad thing tho that ssh
doesn't pass along TERMCAP, but only TERM.
I believe that the latest release of openssh provides a way that
you can specify other environment variables whose values will be
passed across an ssh connection.  I think you have to configure
both ends of the connection to allow each specific environment
variable.  But I have not installed the new version yet, so I have
not had a chance to see how the new feature works.
