I have a hazeltine esprit ESP6110+ terminal here.  It runs H1500
emulation mode, and can run up to 19200 baud in speed.  Here is our
current termcap:

HE|esprit|hazeltine esprit:\
	:am:bs:co#80:li#24:cm=\E^Q%r%>\036\240%+\140%+\140:\
	:al=35\E^Z:dl=35\E^S:cd=10\E^X:ce=\E^O:cl=\E^\:\
	:up=\E^L:do=\E^K:nd=^P:se=\E^Y:so=\E^_:is=\E^Y:

This termcap works well at 9600 baud, but has problems at 19200 baud.
Does anyone know of a termcap that works with this terminal in H1500
mode at 19200 baud?  In particular, when I run nn, the first line or
two of news on every page is scrozzled / truncated.  Perhaps there is
not enough of a pause between the screen erase & the first character
sent afterwards?  Or perhaps nn is using a clear-to-end-of-screen from
the 2nd or 3rd line of the page, and the Esprit in H1500 mode cannot
do this quickly?  If any of the other emulation modes can be used at
19200 baud without these problems, then I'll switch the emulation.  I
can't stand 9600 baud any more....

Please excuse my ignorance of the termcap database (I have never
written a termcap entry before).  Thanks in advance for any help on
this problem!
