<HISTORY>
I have been "playing" around with FreeBSD since version 2.1R but around when 
2.2.5R came out and after a long time squabble with NT's blue screen of death 
I started using FreeBSD for my office OS and it has performed quite nicely 
and it has proven to save me quite a bit of time because of it's stability (I 
was fixing NT about once a month) and also it has the same feel as the QNX 
network I administrator. In short hats off to the project.  
</HISTORY>

My question is how do I get FreeBSD to run QNX terminal? (I may not be saying 
this correctly) I have most of the must have unix admin books (except for 
none on termcap) even the "BSD Bible" from Gregg L. but they have precious 
few pages on this subject. 

I have the source termcap file from QNX but how do I put it to use. I also 
know that linux has this emulation out of the box if for some reason the one 
that comes with QNX is proprietory then I can get from the Linux install and 
use it.

I am afraid that my knowledge in this area is lacking so forgive me if I am 
asking a stupid question, I just havent had the need to change terminal 
emulation. I have a feeling it is a simple fix just I am not looking in 
the right place.

BTW: I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7R

Thanks
John
