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.

Bad deal ;-)

Sorry, i can't tell you about termcap, but we switched our A210+ to
televideo 925 emulation with TERM=tvi925. Works quite well. VT100
would be *much* better, though... ;-)

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
