 I could probably supply a termcap, since we have the 4.3 RT's here too.
 I took the IBM specific entries and added them to our Suns.  The 8514
 one needed a little modification.  I was able to add terminfo entries
 on the AIX machine with tic source produced by "infocmp" on a Sun4.

 What "3270 emulator" are you talking about?  The only one we have is
 "telnet" in "em 3270" mode, which locks up your terminal and doesn't
 respond to any keystrokes other than telnet escape character.  Has
 anybody got that "xant" thing I've hear about?
