With this setting of TERM and with this Linux version:
stnsp013:/home/therter> set | grep TERM
TERM=vt100
stnsp013:/home/therter> uname -a
Linux stnsp013 2.4.21-15.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Apr 22 00:18:24 EDT 2004 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
man formatted pages contain often strange binary characters.
Like here, from 'man stty':
[...
* [-]ctlecho
echo control characters in hat notation (â^câ)
...]
In some cases these characters cause that telnet session needs to
be reset or even terminated.
