terminal settings for emacs over remote ssh

[Stefan Vollmar]

Hello,

this is probably a very old question, sorry for having to ask again: I  
want to use Emacs 22.2.1 (Fedora Core 10, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)  
using a remote ssh-connection from a MacOS X terminal, also from a  
PuTTY session on a windows box (both in a rather old-fashioned way).  
In both cases I find that when opening a text in Emacs, the very first  
line starts at the right-most column. Moving down with the cursor will  
increment the line position not in the status line (last line) but  
rather in the last but one line.

My guess is that the terminal emulation is the problem, I have tried  
vt100 and xterm, as mentioned above, it is nothing MacOS or Windows  
specific wrong with the ssh-connection, I also made sure not to use  
any Emacs customizations.

Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
 Stefan
