adm3a and Linux

I pulled out my ADM-3A today in an effort to stave off studying and homework and such; hooked it up to my Debian box, only to find that there isn't really very good support for it under Debian. I use this line in my inittab: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -h -L ttyS0 9600 adm3a and while I can log in, vim for example looks TERRIBLE, ls tries to do color and fails miserably, etc. When I log on to one of the Solaris machines on campus via SSH, they handle things gracefully. ls works right, vi is excellent. Is the difference in our terminfo files, or what? I'm not really sure how these things work so I'm hoping somebody can help me figure out what's up here, because I'd like my Debian computer to play nicely with the terminal.
