perhaps something is getting set/reset by the alternate-character-set
controls embedded in the termcap/terminfo description. I haven't studied
teraterm (yet), but I'm aware that kterm is implemented with a problem
that causes it to misinterpret the vt100 & vt220 font-switching controls.
(Something to do with the MBCS support - I'm not familiar with the related
standards so I don't know if they conflict, or if this is simply a bug in
kterm).
Also (though it's not supposed to ;-), some telnet programs do interpret and
modify the character stream, so a terminal description that works on one
platform may not work if you're rlogin'd from another (I ran into this with
Solaris 2.4).

Linux's alternate character set is incompatible with vt100/vt220, so you'd
also run into problems here. (It relies on 8-bit characters).
