I didn't try any of the emulations the Ampex terminal offers, because
I believe it should be possible to use it as an Ampex -    ;o)
In the meantime I used a termcap entry for the Ampex created at Berkeley to
build my own gettytab entry.  Everything works fine -
except:

I cannot use ^C or ^Z to interrupt processes or the cursor keys to
scroll through the command history of my BASH shell.  It seems as if
the Ampex terminal catches this sequences instead of sending'em to
the host. (?)
I'd be glad if anyone could help me in solving this (hopefully) last :-)
problem in installing the Ampex210/Ampex210Plus terminal.

Thanks in advance,
 Markus
