We have an HP9000-350 running HP-UX 6.0

We also have several Sun workstations that are used to remotely
login to the HP.  The problem is that we don't appear to have
a terminfo entry that we work with vi etc.

If I set my environment variable TERM to sun or sun1, vi works but
does all sorts of funnies to the screen.

Setting TERM to sun2 or sun3 causes errors ( no terminfo entry one
assumes).

All the suns are either sun2 sun3 or sun4's.  Is there anyway I can
get vi to work properly or do I need extra terminfo entries ?

I would appreciate any help you can give,

  Thanks
          Andy.
