When I ssh to a dialup from an xterm on a Debian 3.0 system, and use
xtermc, I too get ugly colors. Furthermore, it seems broken; the
background color is gray, and I can't change it - in emacs
set-background-color makes no change.
As a data point, on a cluster sun, I see the same behavior using
gnome-terminal, in an xterm I can't get colors at all. (Invoking emacs
as emacs -nw.)
My only interest in having it work on a dialup, I presumed it should be
easy, but it seems not.
