(I know that line-eating creep will get me sometime.)
Does anyone have a termcap for the Kaypro II that works with 'vi' on
UNIX? It's supposed to emulate the adm3a but I find that with 'vi'
leading white space is sometimes stripped, wreaking havoc upon the
cursor position. I got my Kaypro in Dec. 1982, and Kaypro may have
fixed this since then, so if there's a replacement ROM or a BIOS patch
that takes care of this problem, I'd appreciate knowing about that,
too.
This occurs even at 300 baud, so it doesn't seem to be any kind of
speed related problem. If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a correction.
If more than a few of my fellow Kaypro owners tell me they'd like
this fix, I'll post it if I get one.
Many thanks -- Carl (tektronix!teklabs!carlc)

I fought this problem for a couple of weeks recently. I discovered that
the following termcap entry worked best for me. My setup is:
Kaypro 4 (the 'old' model, purchased in Oct. '83).
Acoustic-coupled 300 baud modem at full duplex
UNIX 4.2bsd running ethernet and csh....
(Also, the behavior I saw was that vi only acted up if 1) the cursor was in
columns two, three or four -and- 2) your command caused the screen to scroll.
I was only successful by eliminating two adm3a entries. Also, a recent
posting to USENET suggested some other improvements to adm3a, and these are
also included...."delete line" and "insert line" as I recall...
