> Hmmm, the linux and linux-nocolor were pulled from my friend's > Linux machine and someone else said FreeBSD needs a vt220 termcap also. No, FreeBSD's vt220 works fine. I use it quite often. Of course, it may depend on which emulator you're using. :-) Some of them are pretty awful. ckermit's vt220 is about the best I've ever seen though. The problem with pulling termcap entries from other operating systems, though, is the question of compatiblity. It'd be nice if all termcaps were equal, but that doesn't agree with my experience. As usual, YYMV.
