adding termcap entry to Alpha AXP for SGI iris-ansi-net?

Hi, I'm having trouble adding a terminal description to a DEC Alpha
running Digital Unix 3.2.

I'm trying to add a terminal description for an SGI - iris-ansi-net

On the SGI, I used
% infocmp -Cr iris-ansi-net

to produce an entry that looked like this:

# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/lib/terminfo/i/iris-ansi-net
iris-ansi-net|IRIS connected to a remote host (40 lines):\
        :am:pt:\
        :co#80:it#8:li#40:kn#4:\

        :bc=\E[D:ko=le,nd,up,ho:


I placed this entry in my $HOME/.termcap file but I still get the
message:

iris-ansi-net: Unknown terminal type

running vi or other terminal dependent programs produces a similar
message.


How can I add a terminal type and have it be recognized by the DEC?
I've read termcap's man page on the DEC and it seemed that creating a
$HOME/.termcap file with this entry should mae that terminal type
available.


Thanks for your help,

_jason
