	Hmmm, so it's always 24 lines by default?  I always thought
FreeBSD termcaps were all 80x25 or something.

	You're probably right about this one.  Either I can do that or
just take out the tc= altogether since I didn't have the tc(s) definition
before and people said it work fine.  Maybe I can even merge in the
termcaps for the tc(s) to the linux one if I can figure out how to write a
termcap entry <G>.
