If using the Next as a terminal to a sun (3/60, if it matters), what
termtype should you tell the sun you are?

I added the 'NeXT Shell application' and 'NeXT console' entries from the
NeXT /etc/termcap to /etc/termcap on the sun server, but neither entry gives
a wonderful response, e.g. the full-next-screen window, with full-screen
editing etc.  vt100 gives a wonderful 23-line screen, but this is hardly
optimal.

Hints would be appreciated, preferably to me, but post ok.
