========================================================================
I'm having a problem using my Apple IIe as a terminal when dialing in
to a Unix system.  I believe the termcap I am using is correct for the
apple IIe with 80-column card, but my apple doesn't seem to respond to
any of the termcap features.  The termcap dependent programs like vi
and more don't work properly.  I can't even clear screen by echoing ^L,
which normally works when using the 80-column card.  I suspect that the
software that I am using is intercepting control characters before they
get to the apple display.

Here is my system configuration:

Terminal:	apple IIe with apple 80-col card.

Software:	Transend1 communications program.

Modem:		Prometheus 1200A (internal) with on-board firmware.
		(installed in slot #2)

Termcap:	
	av|apple2e|Apple ][e with 80 column card:\
	:am:bc=^H:bs:db#0:bw:cd=^K:ce=^]:cl=^L:dF#0:cm=^^%r%+ %+ :co#80:\

	:sr=50^V:ta=9999^I:up=^_:


Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
