I don't know of any, but I suppose you could get such a list by showing the entries which fail your test for presence in both places. My experience was to login to CCN dialup as vt320, then telnet to e.g. csuite, the vt320 would be automatically passed through. Then running something like top or Lynx would dump core. You could probably simulate the same thing on csuite by simply exporting the TERM variable as vt320 By the way, the $3 thing under vt100, is that a corrupted or minimal terminfo file, trying to display an incorrect function at end of line?
