This is probably an unusual request but here goes ...

I have built MicroEmacs 3.9 on our MacIIx which is running A/UX 1.1.
It (uEmacs) operates correctly on the Mac's console.

Now since the Mac is a shared resource, we have it connected into 
our ethernet network of Sun workstations. What I want to be able to
do is open a window on my Sun, rlogin to the Mac, and then fire up
uEmacs.

I can (in part) actually do this. The problem lies (I believe) with
the A/UX termcap entry for a Sun window. The uEmacs screen display
behaves very strangely: stuff gets left on the screen when I page
up or down, and on some occasions reverse video (from the status line)
remains turned on when scrolling up.

I've tried changing the supplied A/UX termcap entry to match that
on our Suns, and also sticking in 50 millisecond delays for most
terminal characteristics. 

Neither seems to help much, except possibly for the reverse video
problem - ie it hasn't happened again recently.

Can anyone suggest a solution, or barring that, where I might go
for additional help?

Thanks.
