	We are running GNU Emacs on a SUN4/280 now, and we have tvi950
terminals.  Every time I bring a paused emacs process into the
forground, I end up with garbage on the screen and have to wait until
all the garbage is done before I can refresh the screen (which works).
At first I thought this was a termcap padding problem since the SUN4
is so fast, but I tried putting a padding of at least 100 on every
entry, and 900 on `clear display' and a few others.  This did not
solve the problem at all, although everything ran noticeably slower.
We are using the standard termcap distributed by SUN with OS3.2.
Before I delve deep into the murky waters of termcap, I thought I'd
ask if anyone out there has a termcap for the tvi950 that works with
GNU and the SUN4.
