The IBM-PC or XT (or clones) are NOT terminals. The RS-232 port doesn't even work unless you 1) bought an optional card and 2) got some software to allow the PC to become a terminal. Most emulators are of the VT100 type. They appear to be the most popular. So, to recap, it isn't the PC that needs the termcap entry, but the terminal emulation software that needs the termcap. Hope this makes a difference. -- Mr. Video {seismo!uwvax!|!decvax|!ihnp4}!nicmad!brown
