- I've seen other things that adhere to the RFC 1060 standards wrt
- terminal type. I think that Multinet does as does the TOPS-20
- implementation, but I could be wrong on either of these.
-
- PC/TCP defaults to RFC 1060, but we let users configure their own
- names if they choose. It would be nice if people paying for "support"
- from the various Unix vendors submitted this problem as a bug - the
- actual work of adding aliases wouldn't take them more than 1 day of a
- junior engineer's time, and the Internet would become a *lot* better.
