Alternately you can do this:

    (within screen on local box)
    address@hidden terminfo > SOMEFILE
    address@hidden scp SOMEFILE address@hidden:
    
    (then on remote)
    address@hidden tic SOMEFILE

This will copy the terminal definition your local box is using onto the
server. If you only have a small number of servers I like this
approach--if you have tons it can be tedious to make sure they all have
the corect TERM setting and I might be more tempted to do something
like what Pia suggests.
