I have exactly the same problem. How do I go about fixing this ?

I'm pasting the relevant (?) entries from my /etc/termcap:

I tried setting TERM to vt100 and rxvt, but I get less then optimal results.
The command mappings are also erratic.
in rxvt mode, CTRL+H is bound to delete, and CTRL+C is read for some reason
as CTRL+G.

The x version works perfectly.
