Ampex210+ termcap entry for SPARCstation2

The other day I had to replace our VT100 terminals connected
to /dev/ttya and /dev/ttyb of our SPARCstation2 by 
terminals called 'AMPEX 210 plus'.  Although there is an existing
entry in our termcap, so it should be possible to use 'ampex210'
for type in the /etc/ttytab, we are not able to work on these 
AMPEX terminals after we logon.  The only thing happening is
beeping and beeping after each key pressed.  
But if you run the 'screen VT100/ANSI emulator' right after
login in your shell resource file,  there're no problems at all.

I would be pleased if anyone could give me the correct termcap
entry or any other hint.

Thanks,
 Markus.
