[lug] tset, ttytab, ttytype

[John E. Koontz]

I've been wrestling with a tset issue recently and in looking around for 
references I've come to the conclusion that tset is not really a supported 
element of contemporary Unix, and, especially, of (Red Hat) Linux.  In 
particular, the /etc/ttytype or /etc/ttytab tables for terminal type 
classification seem to have disappeared, though I keep finding passing 
references to them and you can find man pages for them on the Web.   In 
essence they're fossils, then, I gather?   Does anyone know anything of the 
Linux status or history of this?
