Termcap entry may not be very useful since 3270 cannot use cbreak
and raw mode, I believe.  However, there is a utility tn3270 under
4.3bsd which might be of use. (man -k 3270 gives the folowing) :


map3270 (5) - database for mapping ascii keystrokes into IBM 3270 keys
mset (1) - retrieve ASCII to IBM 3270 keyboard map
tn3270 (1) - full-screen remote login to IBM VM/CMS

I have not used it however, but you might want to check it out.
