I use an IBM3151 on an Intel 386 running XENIX 2.3.3 and don't have any
problems at all ... here's my setup:

	Machine Mode		IBM3151
	Screen			Normal
	Row and Columns		24 x 80
	Scroll			JUMP
	Auto LF			OFF
	Line Wrap		ON
	Operating Mode		ECHO
	Line Speed (bps)	9600
	Word Length		8
	Parity			NO
	Stop Bit		1
	Turnaround Character	ETX
	Interface		RS-232
	Line Control		IPRTS
	Break Signal (ms)	500
	Send Null Suppress	ON
	Enter			RETURN
	Return			FIELD	
	New Line		CR
	Send			LINE
	Insert Character	MODE

And here is the termcap entry that I use:

ib|ibm3151|ibm3161|IBM 3151/3161 terminal:\
        :am:mi:cr=^M:sf=^J:co#80:\
        :it#8:li#24:kI=\EP\040\010:cd=\EJ:ce=\EI:\
        :cm=\EY%+\40%+\40:cl=\EH\EJ:dc=\EQ:dl=\EO:do=\EB:\

        :mr=\E4A:nd=\EC:se=\E4@:so=\E4A:ue=\E4@:\
        :up=\EA:us=\E4B:ka=\E\0401:kA=\EN:kb=^H:\
        :kC=\EL^M:kd=\EB:kD=\EQ:kE=\EI:kh=\EH:kP=:\kN=:\
        :kl=\ED:kL=\EO:kr=\EC:kS=\EJ:kt=\E1:ko=^I:kO=\E2:\
        :kT=\E0:ku=\EA:k1=\Ea^J:k2=\Eb^J:k3=\Ec^J:kw=\EI:\
        :k4=\Ed^J:k5=\Ee^J:k6=\Ef^J:k7=\Eg^J:k8=\Eh^J:\
        :k9=\Ei^J:ti=\E>A:te=\E>A:po=\E^P^R:pf=\E^P^T:ve=:vs=:vi=:\
        :bx=\354\361\353\370\352\355\367\365\366\364\356:

Now I have experienced a certain "jerk" when running the 3151's at 38.4K,
but other than that, all has been well.  Hope this helps.
