Before I go and reinvent the wheel...

I'm looking for a UNIX filter (for BSD 4.X/ULTRIX) which uses termcap
to do terminal emulation. For example, I might want to call my home
CP/M system where all the screen editors, spreadsheets, etc. are
configured for an ADM3A lookalike (extended) terminal and have the
screen codes and cursor key codes translated for my UNIX terminal
(which is usually a VT100).

Does anyone have such a program to give away? It seems unlikely that
this need hasn't arisen before.

Thanks for reading this.
