The normal problem I have with Linux terminal type is the xterm
terminal tends not to unbold or un-underline correctly.  Setting the
terminal type to vt100 solves this problem.

Our Dell boxes' BIOS don't have perfect vt100 emulation - no terminal
has ever worked perfectly with them.  We just live with it - we know
the boot sequence and any real problem can be solved with a monitor
and a keyboard.  The BIOS also has two settings, vt100 and ANSI.  You
want vt100.

If I didn't guess correctly, could you describe the problem you are
having.
