Howdy All,

	I have just gotten KA9Q to work _beautifully_ with my local unix box, a
Vax running 4.2 (4.3?) BSD.  I am using NANSI.SYS on the XT, and a nansipc
termcap that Phil Karn was very gracious to send me (Thanx Phil!!).

	However, I have hit another snag... The local VMS machines don't
support "nansi".  If I try vt100, I don't get screen clears (ie, the screen
doesn't do a clear to bottom, and the new text overwrites the previous screen,
and looks real horrible.).   If I change my config.sys on the XT to use the
ibm-supplied "ansi.sys", it works like a Champ!!!  But, then back to the unix
box and vi looks horrible again........

	So, in short, does anyone use KA9Q with "ansi.sys" from IBM on a Unix
box, and if so, what termcap do you use, and can you send me a copy of it (I
don't care if I get a "standard one", because I have found that "standards"
often change between machines :-) :-) :-) ....

	Thanx for your help in advance!

					James
