What terminal type are you specifying on your host?
You are most likely seeing a combination of two completely separate
factors:
(1) the VT color palette which was defined by the VT340 terminal is
different from the color palette used by "ANSI" terminals such
as SCO ANSI and AT386. The VT color palette is used by the
Linux console.
(2) The escape sequences sent when SCOANSI is the current terminal
type are different from those that are sent when the terminal
type is either VT320 or LINUX.
