Hi #hivemind, has anyone got the #Wyse WY-120 #serial #terminal to work correctly on #Linux with any #terminfo entries? Specifically, it has trouble with backspace/delete, arrow keys and general #curses page layout. #Halp?
PS: I've seen @veronicaexplains's wonderful video on the WY-55 but this one unforunately seems to have different behaviour.

There are bugs in terminfo. And Stallman only published a manual on the old termcap (not on the newer terminfo).
If only the existance of termcap and terminfo was a good thing...
What a mess!
