Switch Settings for ADDS Viewpoint?

I've been having some difficulty using an ADDS Viewpoint dialed into a Sun.
When I use vi, it does odd things like placing the "empty-line squiggles"
at the far right instead of the far left.  I know that absolute cursor
addressing string from /etc/termcap is correct, since I use it in a
CP/M-based editor for the same terminal.  I suspect that a configuration
switch on the terminal is causing it to behave differently for some less-
frequently used feature (like relative cursor motion).

Does someone have a summary of the switch settings handy that they could
post or email?  Thanks.

				-Jim.
