For Eterm, you probably want to use TERM=xterm, and for konsole, I've
been told that it works best with TERM=xterm-color

Chances are, 'linux' is probably not what you want; in PuTTY, you have
to make TERM correspond to what PuTTY is configured to use. You can
configure PuTTY following the instructions here:

uterm? Never heard of it. uxterm is a script that comes with the xterm
package that launches xterm in utf-8 mode.
