The previous discussion already assumed VT100 emulation, and people were
unsure what is the "best" terminal type for it. If the emulation is
identical to the one used on VGA, wsvt25 is closest, that's all what I
wanted to say. I don't suggest it being the default for /etc/ttys.

Even on VGA-using platforms, the default in /etc/ttys is vt220. The reason
is probably that if you telnet or ssh to another machine, the TERM setting
will be propagated and the remote machine might know nothing about wsvt25.
