I am running Emacs 21.2.1 in no window mode on a Sun Solaris 5.8
system.  Xterm windows are capable of displaying color on this system
because other applications do display colors in xterm windows. 
However, Emacs does not display colors when I run in now window mode
using an Xterm window.  What can I do to get color to work in this
setup?

On my system (5.8) /usr/openwin/bin/xterm is not able to display the
colors. With /usr/dt/bin/dtterm emacs works fine. I fear you need to
install xterm-color.

You should do the following:

(a) create a directory ~/.terminfo/x on the remote solaris box.
(b) copy the /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm file from local linux box to
    ~/.terminfo/x/xterm on the remote box.
(c) Do a export TERMINFO=~/.terminfo on remote.
(d) Start Emacs21 

This approach works for me.
