Your TERM is understood as non-color XTERM. Set TERM on remote
machine to a color-capable XTERM (may be tricky on Solaris, it has
horrible terminfo database...).
If this fails, you may need to use a custom TERMINFO database. Get it
from some saner OS, and set $TERMINFO accordingly. [This assumes that
your Emacs groks TERMINFO. Do not know whether Solaris builds are
smart enough...]
Hope this helps,
