All terminfo entries for supported AIX monitors in native mode (not X
Windows) are based on the `hft' definition.  The hft software in the
tty driver provides pretty good ANSI terminal emulation.  Use the
`ansi' termcap entry on the Suns.  Works fine for me on ULTRIX
machines.

[2) use the -e vt100 option of AIX telnet to 
[cause telnet to emulate a vt100 terminal...

This may be necessary on the VMS machines.
