I recently purchased two Ampex 230+ terminals for use with my
little Unix box (running Linux). Unfortunately they came with no
documentation at all. I have figured out how to set various
parameters using the 'SET UP' key, so I can use them quite happily
in Televideo 950 or Wyse 50 mode, but I don't know how to set the
system to save my settings when turned off. If anybody else out there
knows about these terminals could they please mail me some info?

I'll post a summary if anybody else wants to know, as well.

Also, if anybody has a unix termcap entry for these terminals I would
be grateful if they could possibly mail the entry to me. Though the
Wyse and Telideo modes work OK, I am sure I am not getting the best
out of the system, and running these terminals in Ampex 230+ mode
might do the trick.

Thanks a lot, in advance...
