I had the same problem (when telnetting into another machine while running
with TERM=console)--it seems that the console type of TERM has trouble
with scrolling on other machines....the way I have found around this
(it's half-assed, but it gets me by...) is to set TERM=vt100 before
I telnet into a remote machine. I don't hang anymore that way, but
I can only use the upper half of my screen (vt100's only do 24 lines
normally). The other solution (the better one) is to telnet in
while running X, as xterms seem to work quite well (for me at least).
