And the winner is....

set term=beos-ansi

I have no idea why something for Be OS should work best for Solaris, but I'm not aguing with success.

I altered my .tcshrc file to include this section:

setenv HOSTV `uname -s`
if ("$HOSTV" =~ "SunOS") then
    echo HOSTV $HOSTV
    set term=beos-ansi
    if ( -f /usr/local/bin/gnu_ls) then
        alias ls '/usr/local/bin/gnu_ls --color'
    endif
endif

This way, the new settings should only affect Solaris machines, but I won't have to maintain more than one .tcshrc file.

gnu_ls, btw, allows you to mimic Linux' 'ls --color' under Solaris.
