You're kidding, right?

I'll tell you what:  sit down at the console of a Linux box.  Do
"export TERM=hp2621" (I assume you're using bash; if tcsh, do
"set term = hp2621") and then run joe or vi or some other applications
that you usually use.

Then file a bunch of bug reports with the Linux vendor and send a bunch
of flame mails to Linux mailing lists.  The responses will perhaps
educate you as we seemingly have not.

"It should work, right?  If hp2621 belongs to the Linux terminal emulations
collection - why should I consider, it will _not_ work?"
