I'm using KA9Q for a SLIP connection to our local terminal server,
so that I can use Telnet and FTP services.

Also, when I telnet to our local UNIX machine, I would like my PC to act like
a VT100 terminal.  Herein lies the problem.

First, when the terminal output reaches the bottom of the screen and the lines
scroll up, the first character of the bottom line that scrolls up disappears.
This has the effect of the entire first column of the screen being blank if the
screen scrolls for more than a few lines.

Also, when I enter VI, the screen flips into 40-column mode, and there is no
easy way to get out of this.

Is there any way that this can be remedied?  I'm using KA9Q with an IBM PS/2
Model 50, and the ANSI.SYS display file.  I suspect that the problem lies with
ANSI.SYS, but I don't know exactly what that problem is.

Thanks,
