Make a termcap entry that looks like this:

hft|hft-c:tc=ansi:

`ansi' works tolerably well for AIX-PS/2 hft's; I use it every day.

Xterm on AIX/RT provides a VT100 mode which might also be useful if 
your systems have it too.

There's more work involved if your AOS machines have 6153 monitors with
no X support, and you want to use them to edit on the PS/2.  You'll have to
find a machine that has captoinfo and compile a terminfo entry based on
the termcap entry from the AOS machine.  System 5 Release 3 machines
have captoinfo.  There's also a public domain version that's not quite
complete, but which produced a usable terminfo entry when I used it for
exactly this application.  I think it's in the comp.sources.unix
archives.

If you are talking about aixterm, you can start it up with the -v option
to provide vt100 emulation... At least you can on my RT implementation.
