"vi" is supposed to revert to a limited window size at low bit rates. Anyway, the general answer to the question is that some terminals do not support any means of inserting a line in the display. The IBM 3101 is among these; here is the complete termcap for it that I devised several years ago: # # IBM 3101 I9|ibm3101|IBM 3101-10:\ :cr=^M:do=^J:nl=^J:bl=^G:ct=\EH:st=\E0:\ :am:le=^H:bs:cl=\EK:li#24:co#80:nd=\EC:up=\EA:cd=\EJ:ce=\EI:\ :kd=\EB:kl=\ED:kr=\EC:ku=\EA:ho=\EH:cm=\EY%+\40%+\40:ta=^I:pt: As you can see it doesn't support very many capabilities, basically just cursoring around, clearing the screen, and setting tab stops. [Looking at this, I suspect the "ct" entry is wrong as it is the same as "ho" and the latter looks right to me. If somebody has access to an IBM 3101 manual and can find out what the code is to clear a tab stop, please let me know so I can fix this termcap entry.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.terminals Path: cs.utk.edu!gatech!swrinde!sdd.hp.com!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!uiuc.edu!jeffo Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Message-ID: Reply-To: jeffo@uiuc.edu (J.B.

Setup mode is a bit wierd for those of us used to the typical TeleVideo and Wyse models, but it works. One neat thing about the 3151 is that it seems to remap the keyboard depending upon the emulation you choose, to match the key placement/functions of the terminal being emulated. All in all, not a bad unit... if you're an IBM shop its a good choice, but if not, there are many other competitors that are more experienced in the async terminal market. blair.groves@canrem.com ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.terminals Path: cs.utk.edu!gatech!swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!utnut!torn!uunet.ca!uunet.ca!ionews.io.org!nobody Organization: Internex Online (io.org) Data: 416-363-4151 Voice: 416-363-8676 Message-ID: <2o2ktm$23t@ionews.io.org> References: <2nqrf3$1g34@te6000.otc.lsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: r-node.io.org Date: 8 Apr 1994 00:00:54 -0400 From: djcl@ionews.io.org (woody) Subject: Re: IBM 3151, comments?

I'm looking into buying one, and hope to >use one before I do, but wanted your comments. We had 3151s at our workplace... when we started getting them, seemed that no two 3151s were the same, whether in keyboard, terminal emulations available, etc. IBM couldn't seem to make up its mind what one terminal was going to do from the next. Another problem that occurred was that half the time these things were powered on, there would be a keyboard "logic" error happening, which required another "hard boot"... even Radio Shack wouldn't have been caught dead trying to sell stuff that had such power-up unreliability. Maybe the current batch of terminals have their act together, but the history in our company was quite a nightmare. Speaking of different keyboards... seemed we shipped some 3151s to a client only to find the numeric keypads didn't work, and the setup was done through soemthing like control-F4 rather than control-Setup (yes, going into setup was done in seemingly random fashion). So... if you are still interested in the 3151, make sure you get a consistent batch of them, and check power-on reliability, and maybe you'll have a better experience of it. -- --- th'end --- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.terminals,comp.unix.aix Path: cs.utk.edu!stc06.CTD.ORNL.GOV!rsg1.er.usgs.gov!jobone !newsxfer.itd.umich.edu!zip.eecs.umich.edu!yeshua.marcam.com!usc !cs.utexas.edu!chpc.utexas.edu!news.utdallas.edu!garap1 Followup-To: comp.terminals,comp.unix.aix Organization: The University of Texas at Dallas Lines: 24 Distribution: world Message-ID: <34tcqs$8sl@news.utdallas.edu> References: <33g59u$p1o@pemrac.space.swri.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ani.utdallas.edu NNTP-Posting-User: garap1 X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: 10 Sep 1994 22:43:40 GMT From: garap1@utdallas.edu (Rahul M Garapaty) Subject: Re: Termcap entry for IBM 3151 Richard, Richard Murphy (richard@pemrac.space.swri.edu) wrote: : Help!

I was surprized (not really...) to find so few IBM terminal entries in the termcap provided with AIX also. You should however have several terminfo entries for the IBM 3151. If your application(s) can use terminfo stuff, set your TERM variable to one of those. In AIX 3.2.5 I've got these: /usr/lib/terminfo/i # ls ibm3151* ibm3151 ibm3151-25 ibm3151-61 ibm3151-noc ibm3151-132 ibm3151-51 ibm3151-S You should find the source for these in, "/usr/lib/terminfo/ibm.ti", and with a little work you can convert the terminfo source into a termcap entry, if you _really_ need termcap.

If you are talking about VOS and async terminals..... Basically the System-88 is exactly the same as a Stratus. We use the IBM async terminals ibm31xx. Unfortunately IBM no longer makes any of these terminals. IBM does have a new model called a 3153 which, if you get the right submodel, has 3151-compatability mode. but.... The 3151 compatibility mode is not exactly correct. We modified it and made a VOS 3153 ttp, which I will send to Paul [Paul Green at Stratus] in case anyone else has to deal with this. If you are starting from scratch, use Stratus terminals instead! Our client was an IBM-only shop so we had to use the 3153. Finally if you order a 3153 be very very careful that they send you the correct submodel with the 3151 compatibility. It took us several tries to sort it out.

I have found ibm3151 support very strange. Many times, when using more to browse a file and hitting 'b' to go back, it seems like the 'screen' is going up in the file but the lines are just falling with no intervening white space lines until the screen looks like everything is collapsed into the top 5 lines. (if that sounds weird - you have to see the effect!) You can invoke more with an option (not at an aix system right now) where it clears the screen before showing a new screen. That seemed to fix the problem. -- Norman Levin vm/dynAmIX inc. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Message-ID: <38185535$0$441@news.en.com>#1/1 References: <000b8d9b.c6a76dfe@usw-ex0101-006.remarq.com> X-Complaints-To: abuse@en.com X-Trace: K5Si:bCC31MI5[332>a9YKc732P?aajcD_jT:JAC]?`@k\Il7;JYI9Bggin>\PZ@jF`j^0?NE:OSL Organization: Exchange Network Services, Inc.

The strange thing is that it appears from your post that it changed when you upgraded to 4.3.3 . Did it really work before? If so, check the status of bos.terminfo.ibm.data There are several models of 3151, and they look different to the computer (ASCII versus Scancode). I've always used the ASCII versions for Unix systems, and they've worked well. (TERM=ibm3151). For Scancode, it should be ibm3151-S (look at /usr/lib/terminfo/ibm.ti There's NO native mode for the 3153. You have to configure it to emulate something. I always emulate a Wyse 60; since the 3153 is made by Wyse, I figure that's the surest to work. -- Bob Shair Open Systems Consulting Champaign, Illinois ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Newsgroups: comp.terminals Message-ID: Organization: Verio Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2003 16:50:27 GMT From: Joe Silagi Subject: IBM 315X PRE-BETA TEST SITES NEEDED!
