[net.emacs] Symbolics Lisp Machine

Is there a termcap entry for the Symbolics Lisp Machine telnet window?

Personally, I   think the   Lisp   Machine  window system   should  be
accessible over the network a la X but as it is I would simply like to
be able to use emacs when telnetted to a Unix host.

After you connect to the remote host, type <network>-x and then select
"vt100" in the menu window that will pop up. That will cause telnet to
emulate a vt100. Make sure that you use the unix tset command properly
to tell unix that you are a vt100. Also, reshape the telnet window so
that you have the proper 25 text lines that a real vt100 would.

The default telnet window emulates a dumb terminal, which does not have
all the features required by emacs.
