vi wierdness

[Mark Haney]

I am really hoping someone on this list has an answer for the strange  
problem I am having.  I've seen this before, but I can't pin down a reason  
for it to be happening.  I have several FC2 boxes at home I can SSH into  
for various reasons, and a FC2 mail server running sendmail/dovecot at  
work.  I can SSH and use vi just fine on my machines at home, but for some  
bizarre reason, I simply can't use vi on the mail server.  Let me rephrase  
that, I can run vi, but I cannot get the normal commands to work.   
[INSERT] doesn't put me in edit mode, CTRL-C doesn't get me into command  
mode to save the file, it all seems scrambled.  Like I said, I've seen  
this with other OS's on a few occsaions over the years and can't find a  
reason for it.  Does anyone know how to fix it?  Or have you seen this  
problem before?
