Here's a termcap for the new Ampex D175 terminal.  A review of said
terminal will probably be along shortly.  The D175 has one annoying
oddity:  no backspace key in the main QWERTY cluster.  Fortunately,
it has a NEWLINE/PAGE key just above RETURN that sends a strange
single-character code.  Given a suitable Unix (one that lets you set
an echo-erase-as-BS-SP-BS mode), this key can be used as the erase
key;  I find I like this.  Because some people and some systems may
not, there is another termcap ("ax175e") that suppresses this little
eccentricity by omitting the relevant capability.

Warts:
	- I haven't done tab-setting yet.
	- The initialization sequence doesn't use the terminal's
	  reset-everything code because it would require a delay
	  in the middle of the is sequence.
