1. Graphics with termcap.Some terminals, such as most consoles on Unixes that run on IBMcompatible PC's, can display special line drawing characters.If these characters map 1-to-1 to the IBM character set, you can justuse the '-l' (literal) flag when invoking minicom. If yourterminal cannot display the IBM characters directly, you should addthe 'as', 'ae' and 'ac' entries to your termcap.The Linux console only maps 1-to-1 in a special mode. Therefore you need tomake a special termcap entry in /etc/termcap that initializes theconsole on startup. For an example see the files in the termcap/ directory.This defines a termcap entry called "mc".To use this information instead of the normal 'console' information,minicom has to be invoked with the '-t mc' option (meaning use TERM=mcinstead of the normal TERM environment variable).And, in my /etc/profile I have added the lines:        case "$TERM" in          con*|linux)                MINICOM="-l -m -con -tmc" ; export MINICOM                ;;        esacSo when I log in on the console I can use minicom in full color,full ANSI mode.2. About the included termcap files.I've written some termcap entries for the VT family of terminalsfrom scratch. These entries are correct and solve the long-standing "my arrow keys don't work!" etc. problems.This is probably obsolete now the world is changing to terminfo.Fortunately the master terminfo file is reasonably accurate.There are two termcap files in this subdirectory, termcap.shortand termcap.long. You should only use termcap.long if yourlibrary version is < 4.6.27 (it probably is). Newer librarieshave my new termcap code and won't break on the tc= entriesin termcap.short.If you don't use exotic termcap entries you might just want tocopy the new termcap file over /etc/termcap (make a backup copyfirst!). Otherwise you'll have to edit, cut and paste.
