I have recently acquired a "Televideo Personal Terminal" and have
a couple of questions about it.  

Could someone give me a clue as to how to use the internal modem?  
I have hooked it to a telephone line but have been unsuccessful in 
even getting it to go off hook.

Additionally, I find that I need a terminfo description of this.  I
have been using the "tvi" one with little success.  Sometimes this
leaves garbage characters in the middle of the screen and often
changes the terminal to "LOCAL EDITING" while in vi.  This is a 
certain kiss of death that causes the cursor keys to be used locally
and not sent to the computer.  Once vi loses where the cursor is,
pandemonium results.

Please e-mail any answers since the feed of this group is unreliable
at best.  I will be glad to summarize to this group if there is interest.

Thanks.

-Jack
