[Asterisk-Users] Color in console [SOLVED]

Asterisk apparently decides whether or not to display color to users based 
on the TERM variable under which asterisk was launched, not under which 
it's being connected to, so if you start it under "screen", but later 
connect from "linux" you won't see colors.

The fact that the lines in term.c don't consider "screen" to be 
vt100-compatible is an interesting thing that I don't consider a bug but 
merely an oversight.
