Thanks to you all for super easy solution. For some reason my term was being 
set automatically to vt100, i just added export TERM line to /etc/profile. I 
was wondering if any of you have that line in your login scripts, or if bash 
(or whatever shell you use) detected vt220 automatically. Also, Christian 
how did you get the delete key to work as it really should, i kind of want 
to set that correctly too. Thanks again for all your help, now if only i 
could find out how far along firewire support is in the core tree...
