dtterm will display remotely - I don't recall if sun-cmd will (some of
those clients don't).

more than that actually (both xterm and rxvt have features that the other
lacks - I'm biased of course, and find that the features that xterm has
that rxvt lacks are generally more useful than the corresponding set of
features in rxvt absent in xterm).
