If you come over from a PC, there might be no problem. I've done this using
TUN (Terminal UNiversel) by ESKER. Also did id with Wyse 120, but there was
a fix to be made in the fvpix-string. In general, take a look at the files
in /usr/vpix/term/ to get some hints. If that is still insufficient with
regard to the man-pages, email me, and I will try to get you to efforts.
