Can host explorer use something more generic than vt420
by default? -Ron

Hi Greg,
I'm using "helpdesk3", a stock athena Sun Sparc 4 that has been "mkserv
remote"d. Wherever it goes to give users their TERM entries from, that's
probably what I mean by the standard termcap. I guess I really mean
whatever serves as the terminfo database, which seems to exist centrally
somewhere in afs land.
