A good practice is to copy the linux terminfo database to any solaris / hp-ux / aix system you log into and just set the TERMINFO environmental variable to point to it. That way you can use TERM=rxvt, TERM=screen and not have broken functionality.

I actually have created a reduced set of terminfo files in a ready tar.gz package that I just extract into my home directory in oldie unix systems.
