My, I'm just full of terminal questions...
I have a Televideo 910.. maybe it's a 950 but I think it said 910 on it.
They can't be confused -- a 910 looks like an ADM-3A (but squarer, not
as cute) and a 950 looks like a VT100, but narrower.
When the terminal is just sitting there with stuff on
the screen, no data is
being sent or received... it will suddenly flip to a "previous screen" all
by itself. I don't know if the terminal supports multiple pages of display
memory, but the symptom is as if it does support multiple display memory and
spontaneously all by itself it switches pages and I see data on the screen
that came by a while ago.
I don't _think_ the 910 supports pages of memory, but the 950 does. If
this is doing it without you pressing any keys, I'd suspect the termcap
or terminfo entries not being matched to the terminal, though that would
be odd as well, as the 950 doesn't emulate anything else. Both manuals
are online.
