[comp.sys.dec] termcap entry for VAX station II

simon@ohm.york.ac.uk (Simon Klyne) (11/03/90)

Hi
I have just inherited an old VAX station II running Ultrix 1.1
Without any documentation trying to find out the termcap settings is going to 
take a long time ...
Has anyone out there got any info on what the terminal type is that we need
to set so we can use a screen editor.


thanks

	-simon.

You're out of luck.  The VAXstation display is DUMB.  The only thing
you can do is run DECwindows or X11 on it.  If you upgrade to Ultrix3.1,
or Ultrix4.0, then installing X11R4 is trivial.
