The terminal emulation depends of the remote system Unix type. To connect, you can use telnet or ssh, but the TERM variable depends of the remote system.

Likely terminal emuliation is xterm or
one of the vt family. Try vt220 or vt100.

Default settings should work.

No problems with xterm. vt100 shopuld work as well but preference for xterm

Here is my command;
xterm -bg purple -fg white -sb -sl 1000 -font 8x16 -name -title -e ssh &

Yes, I like some color and scroll bars. Careful with the colors when working back to a Linux system. The color-ls could throw you for a loop
