     I have had that same problem.. Try "set term=xterm-sun" or
     "set term=xterm-color" that should do the trick.. Only thing
     I can guess as the cause is that redhat and solaris use
     slightly different (color patch for linux?) versions of xterm
     that have minor differences in the termcap/terminfo capabilities.
     I haven't tested, but it may work to compile xterm from the
     linux distro.. My assumption comes from the fact that the stock
     solaris xterm doesn't give me color when telneted to linux
     even though 'ls --color=force | less' shows all the proper color
     codes. Another thing you can try is another term program..
     dtterm and GNOME Terminal both work with full color for me.
