We are having problems with our Sun 4's and terminal emulation
when connecting to our departmental hp 9000/850 machine.  When
running under suntools, and using Jove or Vi on the 850, things are
fouled up -- Jove and Vi just don't work.  It appears to be a problem
with the application not knowing the length of the virtual screen
(my guess) but try as we might to change the li# in the terminfo
database we can't fix it.

Has anyone seen this and, if so, do you have a fix?

thanks in advance.
