Sorry to pester everyone, but I don't know any sure way to get to
bbncca!jsol from here.

We don't, but if you find one, or even find out they (don't) exist, we'd love
to hear about it.  Ours has strange problems with long lines.

Theoretically the VT100 autowrap mode is understood, and specified
in termcap by :xn:.  However, you'll find that setting :xn: (and
setting the wrap bit in setup-B) works with some programs but not
all.  Curses notably does not handle :xn:.

If you don't mind having everything you type get squashed into the
last position when you reach the right margin, you could turn off
autowrap (second bit in setup-B group 3, I believe, but I don't
have a vt100 here.)
