Cannot get the @ symbol to print properly

Show all headers | View raw

I recently was gifted a PC7300 and a 3B1 with all the manuals and some software.  In the Unix terminal I've run into a behavior that I don't understand.  This happens to me on both machines.  When I type the @ symbol it prints the @ and also moves down to the next line.  

In vi I can type ! and # but for some reason when I try to type @ the cursor jumps to the far left and erases everything in its way.

I connected from a laptop over the RS232 serial connection and I see the same behavior.  I looked in my env but don't see anything obviously affecting the @ symbol.

Does anyone here know why this is happening and how to turn it off?  It keeps corrupting any ascii transfers I do across the serial connection that have an @ in them.

Thanks,
Jonathan
