The Wyse-50 can emulate about 5 assorted terminals including itself :-).
All of them except the ADDS Viewpoint emulation have the infamous
"magic cookie" brain damage in standout mode (it makes a space on the
screen to enter or exit standout mode).  However, it works great if
you set the emulation to "ADDSVP", turn "Enhance" on, set "PROT=REV",
and use this termcap (wave wand, poof smoke...

They "wyse-nk" entry is for people who like vi to work the same as on
other terminals.  Seems that vi will interpret ^U, ^Z, etc as a cursor
movement if one of the cursor keys happens to send it.  Phooey.

We have been using this entry running 19200 baud on a Sun-3 without trouble.

PS:  Setting tabs on this baby is rough, since there is no "clear all tabs"
escape code in ADDS mode.  Therefore you'll also need the tabset file.
Run this as a shell script since netnews filters CR and ESC chars.
