Issue

A new Reflection X 2014 software was installed in the environment which allows vt52, vt102, vt500-7, vt500-8 and vt-utfs.
The current installs of RHEL 6.6 offer vs100, vt52, vt100, vt100-am, vt100-nav, vt102, vt200, and vt220.
vt102 is the only Terminal type available in both Reflection x 2014 and RHEL 6.6.
- Are there more Terminal types available for install on the RHEL system?
- Is there a Red Hat recommended terminal type to use?
