 TERM=sun seems to have Concept's :xn: beahvior.  So if you emit a
 character into the lower-right corner the cursor will wrap and the
 screen will scroll up.  That is using naive test with running cat(1)
 and entering characters on Solaris 11 console.
 
 I'd expect our wsemul_sun to do the same but I can only test a bit
 later.
