IRIX and Software

Terminal Types

I know when you login from a serial console by default it asks for a terminal type and recommends a VT100. I'm aware that there is more terminal definitions in /usr/lib/terminfo/* but from what I'm seeing so far it's all for AT&T equipment. There's nothing specifically for systems like the ASR43 or LA120 that I can find. Are those just not included?

You could always just roll your own. As people who needed or wanted to have done. Its not a secret closed system.

I had a look in NetBSD's termcap and found this (among many, many other TTYs). Are these what you were looking for? I have no clue about such old gear.

I tried that before with a Televideo terminal and it didn't seem to work.

I'm pretty sure IRIX is terminfo instead of termcap.

Try grabbing files from a late-'90s Solaris if IRIX doesn't have them - though I doubt that ASR43 was a common terminal type in the '90s when these systems came out.

You can get a very comprehensive collection of terminfo entries from here:

Ah yes, it's exclusively terminfo. Hadn't expected that, I must not be using my Octane as much as I ougt to. :-/ I was muzzily thinking of a $HOME/.termcap entry. Still, there's apparently a captoinfo(1M) that could be used in a pinch.
