if you have a shell account, you can make your own terminfo.
set the TERMINFO variable to point to the directory where you want it,
e.g.,

        setenv TERMINFO /homed/dickey/lib/terminfo

and customize your terminal description as needed.  This is what I use
for minicom (it PROBABLY won't be the same as whatever you have):
