A "layers" terminal identifies itself at startup, and your 3B2 may not
be set up to recognize the sequence sent by xtclient (probably the sequence
for the AT&T 630 terminal?).  Creating an empty file called
/usr/lib/layersys/lsys.8;7;5 on your 3B2 should make it recognize xtclient.
The file normally contains data to be downloaded to the terminal at startup,
which in this case is nothing.
