	I have a problem.  We have a small (7) node Apollo
	token ring network with an ethernet gateway to our
	Sun(s)/Convex/VAX.  Since we have upgraged to SR10
	people would like to take advantage of the ability
	to log into a sun through the apollo.  Everything
	works as it should until Emacs is invoked.  Not all
	of the key definitions seem to be working and after
	exiting emacs, the return key seems to be redefined.
	When entering a command, nothing is echoed and nothing
	happens until a CONTROL-J is pressed, when the command
	then get echoed and executed.  Can anyone explain this.
	What we are doing is running the vt100 emulator and
	setting the term type to vt100 on the sun.

	Could our termcap entry, or lack there of for the Apollo
	be the problem?  On another not, does anyone have a
	termcap entry for the Apollo?  I have seen this asked
	before but have never seen a reply.  But then again we have
	an eratic news feed.

	Thanks for any and all help.
