This is kind of goofy, but I'm stuck doing this in some situations:

I've got a PS/2 connected to our Company IBM Mainframe, using an IBM 3270
terminal emulator on the PC. Miraculously, the IBM mainframe has TCP/IP
functionality (wow!), so I can telnet & ftp from the mainframe to my
ethernet nodes. However, the only terminal type supported by the mainframe
is IBM 3270 (Now there's the IBM I know and hate!)

When I telnet to my machines, I'd like to be able to set my term type,
but there's no 3270 entry in termcap. I suspect it may not be possible,
since 3270 terminals are kind of fruity anyway, but does anyone have a
termcap entry for one of these?

Thanks,
