Summary: Termcap for what?

	You neglect to mention what mode of communication you are using.
Most popular terminal emulation programs use a specific terminal type,
typically vt-100 or vt-52. Kermit does best as a h19 which is a vt52
superset. (or is that an h19?). Another possibility is a "dumb" terminal
emulator using ANSI.SYS. This is a poor solution as the driver is slow
(look in fansi console as an alternative), but it can be done.
Termcap for this combo is usually available under the name ansi, but may
need a doctor.
