Does anyone know what I need to do to overcome the following error situation
when trying to use vi in a VT over telnet PComm session?

FSUM9140 Terminal "dumb" has insufficient capabilities for Curses.

It depends on what the target system is (the FSUM9140 message
is not familiar to me), but below are some examples:
AIX:
export DISPLAY=vt100
vi ...
SUN:
DISPLAY=vt100
export DISPLAY
vi ...
