I recently made an examination of ProTERM v2.0 terminal emulations, and
came up with the following results:

Terminal Type		UNIX termcap	scroll?    okay 80-cols?  insert line?
-------------		------------	-------    -------------  ------------
televideo		tvi		yes		yes		yes
hazeltine 1500		h1500		yes		yes		yes
dec vt52		vt52		-- didn't work on my system
dec vt100		vt100		yes		no		yes
lsi adm3a		adm3a		no		yes		no
Soroc 120		soroc		no		yes		no
heathkit h19		h19		no		yes		yes
IBM 3101-10		ibm3101		-- didn't work on my system
datamedia 1500		dm1500??	-- terminal descriptor unknown

Explanation:
	Terminal Type = type according to ProTERM
	UNIX termcap  = what to type (i.e., set term = tvi)
	scroll?	      = can it scroll downward as well as upwards?
	okay 80-cols? = does vi skip when lines exceed 80 columns?
	insert line?  = will vi spread the lines apart while inserting
			(rather than just blank the current one out)

Notes:	hazeltine 1500 terminal seemed rather slow during tabbing
	heathkit terminal added garbage every now and then
	IBM terminal inserted garbage every so often

The terminal of choice seems to be the tvi.  If they would fix the 80-col
vt100 bug, perhaps that would be better.

This was tested on a SUN workstation, with sun 4.2 unix.
