I've just tried the above on a FreeBSD machine account provided by Pavel
Shirshov. I run FC3 with GNOME desktop so I use gnome-terminal. When I
ssh into the remote machine (FreeBSD) I have the TERM variable set to
'xterm' - in this case everything is fine. Now, I've tried changing the
value of TERM to 'vt220'... surprise, surprise - the subshell prompt is
missing just as Pavel says. So I've started a fresh gnome-terminal
on my machine (FC3) and set TERM to 'vt220' - again no prompt. I've tried
also with konsole with the same result.

Soooo... what does this mean ? :)
