Others will explain this much better, but there are many terminal types 
out there from legacy keyboard/terminal emulations.  VT100, ANSI, VT220 
are examples you will find out about.  There is most likely an rpm or 
base system package that has the terminal emulation info in it for many 
types of terminals.  The name of the emulation will match up in the 
package with a particular terminal.  Your Timberline package need some 
type of terminal emulation.  I can't believe it would be too weird so 
try IBM emulations for the old IBM mainframes or VTxxx types (there are 
several).  The SGIs use under IRIX the ANSI emulation and don't 
understand xterm as an emulation.  So, a little investigation in the 
Timberline docs might yield a Textronics terminal or some particular 
terminal type the software is looking for.  You probably have it in your 
terminal type software on your Linux box.  (What is the terminal 
software package called under Linux? terminfo?)  Any, use man terminfo 
or man -k terminal to get a start.
