No termcaps here, but I can recommend an excellent terminal program for
the CoCo 3 which will allow you to use a Unix system.

The one I use is Datapak III+ by Cer-Comp (see Rainbow ads), and features
VT100 and VT52 compatibility.  At least 99% of Unix systems have terminal
settings for one of these two terminal types.  It also features 80 column
screen (a must!), true 1200 baud from bitbanger port OR RS-232 up to 9600,
XMODEM, autologon, etc.  Not very user friendly, but worth it!

You also may want to look at the new VT52 compatible terminal program
by Computize, although Cer-Comp's CoCo 3 program is probably more
versitile in the Unix arena.

Both of these are under RS-DOS, as is most sensible software.  :-)
