I have a TeleVideo 965 terminal that I recently took out of the attic 
and gave to a friend.  I remember having a hard time getting it to 
be useful when I used it several years ago, but I eventually got it 
to act (mostly) like a glass tty.  Being of the generation that 
grew up using real teletypes, I was willing to be content with that.
 
The young lady I've lent the terminal to is of a different generation: 
her baseline is an x-terminal.  She wants to be able to live in emacs 
pretty nearly all the time when using the terminal.  Hence my questions:
 
The environment is ULTRIX V4.2A (Rev. 47).  We haven't been able to 
find a termcap for the tvi 965 in native mode at all; does anybody 
out there happen to have one kicking around?   
 
Didn't think so.  ;^)    Okay, the terminal has the following emulations
built in.  Which of these emulations is going to provide the richest 
environment for an emacs user?  Which am I likely to be able to find 
a termcap for?
 
   WY-60            WY-50/50+        ADM-31             ADDS-A2 
   DG-200           HZ-1500          TVI-912/920        TVI-910
   TVI-925/910+     TVI-950          TVI-955 
 
Thanks for your help,
