Thanks, I'm actually using bash as a shell, probably should've mentioned
that.  Anywho:

[agoree at desktop ~]$ grep TERM .*
.bash_history:echo $TERM
.profile:# Setting TERM is normally done through /etc/ttys.  Do only
override
.profile:# TERM=cons25;         export TERM

[agoree at desktop agoree]$ echo $TERM
xterm

Looks like it's not being set in .profile (it's commented), and echoing
$TERM displays "xterm".  So it would appear I'm not changing it anywhere.

I tried the following, and get the same weird looking characters in
place of lines when connecting to the remote box (which is running
Linux, btw):
[agoree at desktop agoree]$ echo $TERM
xterm
[agoree at desktop agoree]$ export TERM=xterm-color
[agoree at desktop agoree]$ ssh sideswipe-dt

[agoree at sideswipe-DT ~]$ tmux attach
