aixterm termcap entry and remote host sessions

[Jeanne Leclair]

I was sent this to post:  

folks,

  in vi, i was experiencing moderated screen redrawing and cursor
  movement braindamage while i was logged into a remote host (a
  siemens running sinix, a popular decongestant) from an aixterm
  window.  sound familiar?

  the solution in my case was to run "aixterm -v" for vt102 mode
  (resource name: vt102), log into the remote host, and set the term
  type to aixterm.

  this realization came after running an xterm and an aixterm
  side-by-side with minimal termcap entries (vi only needs co, li, cl
  and up).  since the xterm worked and the aixterm didn't, it pointed
  to aixterm directly.  the -v option made sense and worked.  the
  strange thing is that even though i had a vt100 terminal, i still
  had to use the aixterm termcap entry.

  i've enclosed the previously posted termcap entry in case you missed
  it.
