A Xerox CP/M system inherently looks like either an ADM-3A (for -I) or
*almost* an ADM-31 for the -II.

Better yet, fix your UN*X termcap for the following Xerox and Kaypro
entries:

I faked out the standout/standend modes in the -I since I think that blinking
characters suck.  Emacs wants them regardless.  Oh, and the 820p is for
UPGRADED ROM only since the generic 820-I does not support insert line/delete
line.  There are several places that sell Xerox upgrade ROMs.

Hope this helps!
