I have been using my Apple II+ as an intelligent terminal
for a little over a year now. I patched dos to change the "init"
command to "term". From the command level of Pie Writer 2.2 (the
absolute best of the word processors) I merely type "term" to enter
a 1200 baud terminal mode, and ^@ to return to Pie. If anyone is
interested, I'll post that patch at a later date.
However, I still could not use vi. My apple is equipped
with a Videx 80 collum card, with inverse character set chip. After
much experimenting, I developed the following termcap entry which
works most of the time:

#The following termcap entry works only with an Apple ][+ that is
# equipped with a Videx 80 collumn card in slot 3. A special routine
# must be installed at the apple end to enable scroll down, here
# indicated with a ^U. The Videx card must have inverse char set.
