this worked, or so it seems.  here is the quick method of adding
the freebsd cons25 termcap to solaris terminfo.

1) cut out the cons25 entries from /etc/termcap and save into file.
2) move file over to solaris machine
3) captoinfo cons25.file > cons25.src
4) tic cons25.src

voila.  cons25 is now a proper terminal under my solaris box, and
editing, shell history, etc seem to function proper now!

danke.
