How does this happen, when both xterm-color and vt220 have 
:li#24:co#80: ? Which programs show those "funny effects"?

I have tried mutt, mc, lynx and vi on the 80x50 VGA console with TERM=vt220
and all work fine.

BTW I think the correct type is wsvt25, which adds colors, correct
function and Begin/End keys to the vt220. At least on PC-ish VGA console
(I don't have NetBSD on my sparcs at the moment.)
