The Tektronix 4025 is undoubtedly one of the most poorly-designed
terminals of all time.  What happens on its display is dependent
on what you're doing on the keyboard!  This makes effective full-
duplex use virtually impossible.

>1)  Dose anyone have a termcap for one of these?

#
# Tektronix 4025A
# The following status modes are assumed for normal operation (replace the
# initial "!" by whatever the current command character is):
#	!COM 29			# NOTE: changes command character to GS (^])
#	^]DUP
#	^]ECH R
#	^]EOL
#	^]RSS T
#	^]SNO N
#	^]STO 9 17 25 33 41 49 57 65 73
# Other modes may be set according to communication requirements.
# If the command character is inadvertently changed, termcap can't restore it.
# Insert-character cannot be made to work on both top and bottom rows.
# Clear-to-end-of-display emulation via !DLI 988 is too groady to use, alas.
# There also seems to be a problem with vertical motion, perhaps involving
# delete/insert-line, following a typed carriage return.  This terminal sucks.
# No delays are specified; use "stty ixon -ixany" to enable DC3/DC1 flow control!
