   I was wondering if anyone has a /etc/termcap entry for an AT&T
   610 terminal.

   This terminal came as the console terminal with our 3B2/400
   and there is not an entry for it in the /etc/termcap file on
   the machine and yet everything works file.  The only entry
   that I did find that seemed even close was for the AT&T 513
   terminal.  Unfortunately, the arrow keys do not respond well,
   (at all).  In the owners manual that came with the terminal,
   there was a termcap entry for this terminal which was in
   print.  Unforunately, the text used for the printing did not
   differentiate between 'zero' and 'O'.

Most cases don't require a termcap entry since there is a
terminfo entry.  Make sure that you have installed the
appropriate terminfo utilities.

There are a few non-ATT programs looking for an /etc/termcap
entry.  To get one read for entry for infocmp(1M0 in the
Programmers Reference Manual.  Try TERM=610 infocmp -C -r 610 and
look at the output.  When I did it there are two entries that
must be changed by hand, and a warning that the entry is too long
for termcap to handle.
