 Maybe there is a simple solution, but I cant seem to get my terminals to
behave correctly, I've modified  the /etc/ttys file
so that  tty00  =  "getty std.9600" wy50 on secure
this is not a problem, the local daemon boots, and the terminal comes alive.
 when I login, i set my terminal type, either wy50 or tvi925
termcap has both of theses entries.
 Its when I do anything that requires HIGHVIDEO mode or the like;
as an example, when I type   more .cshrc   or cat .cshrc | more
the terminal returns with
?v??????5???N????7?......etc
 I must then, kill the shell process from console to get access back to the 
terminal, I don't know what is wrong, I've tried parity, stop bits, data bits, 
I'm at a loss.
  Help me PLEASE :)
