I have indeed been biten by the same bug several time, and have written a
termcap and a terminfo for the 128.  The main problem is that the C-128 isn't
really an adm-341 emulator as much as a Kaypro emulator.  The <ESC>G#
codes are different, which causes the alt char set to be used instead of
inverse video.  Here is the termcap that I am using on SysV.2 UNIX's:
---------------cut here--------------
c128|c128.mex|cpm128|commodore-128 cp/m+:\

	:so=\EG4:se=\EG0:us=\EG3:ue=\EG0:
----------------------------
Its not absolutely complete, but its better than trying to use the ADM-31
and going blind.  The terminfo (available on request) is more complete and
based on a look at the terminal emulation sources in the CBM release.
