Obviously.  The "set -E" trick is sh(1) specific.

That's a different type of beast.  You have TERM=3Dnetwork
in your environment, which sh(1) doesn't know about
(it obviously fails to locate the proper termcap entry).
You can get around this by setting TERM to something
that sh(1) knows about.  Try the following in sh(1):

    $ TERM=3Dvt100
    $ export TERM
    $ set -E
