1.  Try vt100.

For anyone who uses a IIci, does the IIci require dt or has the scrolling 
during adb input bug been squashed or did it ever affect that machine?

2.  Which kernel?  The regular kernel doesn't like IIci's....  Try 
ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/~wormey/netbsd/kernels/netbsd.generic_50.tar.gz
or the highest number if there's been a new one added since I was there 
last.  There also were some NFS kernels at that location that worked 
better for a while.  I don't know about their functionality anymore, 
though.

Hope one of these suggestions helps.
