[comp.sys.apollo] why can't you run vi as an apollo??

If you telnet from an apollo to a unix system, there seems
to be some problem with getting the apollo to work with the
apollo termcap descriptions in termcap (either their's or the
apollo's).  You can make yourself a vt100, but then you loose some
of the functionality of the keyboard.  How come it doesn't work to
set your TERM environment variable to the appropriate apollo monitor?
How does one make it work?

If someone could send me email explaining this, some apollo users
around here would be much appreciative.

				thanks much,
