Your solution sounds great. Could you please tell me more about it? I have to
use old P75 as tn5250 workstations. There are no CDRom players.

There's a termcap file on Trinux in etc/ and a terminfo directory located in
usr/share/ with other folders like a/ k/ l/ m/ v/ x/
What am I supposed to do with those files? I tried to copy the etc/termcap
file from my Mandrake station to etc/termcap under Trinux but nothing
happend. Well, that was a desperated copy/paste anyway ;)
Here follows a copy of my termcap under Trinux, if you know what I have to
change on that file, let me know. I tried to copy/paste the Slackware (Trinux
is based on Slackware) "full-featured" termcap-huge file they are talking
about without success...
Thank you,
Mathieu

#
# Okay guys, here is a shorter termcap that does have most
# capabilities and is ncurses compatible. If it works for you
# I'd like to hear about it.
#
# Some entries in termcap 2.0.7 are too long and your programs
# may complain "tgetent: warning: termcap entry too long". Here is
a smaller termcap. But it may not cover as many terminals as the one
# in termcap 2.0.7. You can install it as /etc/termcap.
#
# termcap Termcap entries for the VT family.
# All termcap entries have been freed of the 'ks' and
# 'ke' entries, that put the keypad into applications
# mode. This is a generally misused entry, not ment
# for the vt100 "applications" mode. Now cursor and
# function keys will work in all programs.
#
# Also, there is a "generic" vt entry with common
# entries for all terminals, on which all other entries
# are built.
