We have some Televideo 905 terminals that are hooked up to a campus-wide
network, and from there, to our Gould Mini.

These terminals could be in one of various emulations, and we don't expect
our users to know how to set up their session emulation correctly.
(Typically Televideo 905, 910, and adm3a+)

So, I want a program that will figure out which emulation the terminal is
in, and then set up the environment correctly.

I have the terminal's manual, and have figured out what to send to the
terminal to get some unique responses for various emulations.
(If I can only figure out how not to hang in a getchar() if I don't
 get a response from the terminal, meaning it's not in the emulation
 I am testing for...)

WELL... has anyone written a program like this before?
