Another solution, besides this one and the reset command (if available),
is doing(for bash, if tcsh/csh, change export TERM= to set term=)
export TERM=vt100
cat /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100 > `tty`
or
export TERM=linux
cat /usr/share/terminfo/l/linux > `tty`
(on some systems, it's /usr/lib/terminfo instead of /usr/share/terminfo)
The only trouble is that when your console is garbled, you can't see if
what you type is typed correctly, so type slowly.
