Anyone using a Wyse50 terminal(s), my books and docs are rather vague about how to setup and use.
My Unix (SCO) guy doesn't know now to configure a Linux box for usage.  So far I haven't got any
resemblence of a connect.  Help or pointer to appropiate docs would be helpful.

I recently bought a used Wyse 50 explicitly for use with my linux system.

The hardware setup is pretty straight-forward:

   SHIFT-SETUP puts the terminal into the setup mode
   Menu selections appear at the bottom of the screen
   Use left/right arrows to select the item to change
   Use the space bar to cycle through the options for the current item
   Use the up/down arrows to cycle through more menu items
   When all items have been selected, SHIFT-SELECT will exit setup
   Prompt at the top of the screen will ask if you want to save the new
setup

I use 38400/8/n with /dev/ttyS1 (dos com2)

   mc, compiled with termcap works well - wy50, for 80 col or wy50-w, for
132 col

   top 1.01 works if I first issue: stty cols 132 rows 24

   jed, compiled with slang/terminfo, does not work for me - scatters
characters
and control codes all over the screen - haven't had time to debug my
terminfo files

I seem to remember that WY60's (so maybe 50's) require
DTR/DCD connected together at the WY60 plug end.
