You can still go for the syscons solution. It works fine for me
since I abandoned tcsh.
I still don't understand how a console not capable of vt100/vt52
has made its way into BSD.
pc3 was not nice but it somehow worked with systems knowing vt100.
Most of the systems I use don't know a shit about vt220. So I
refused to go the pcvt way until it supports vt100. Installing pc3
termcap/terminfo on machines not supervised by me was hard enough...
