Hey!  NCSA telnet v2.3b10 claims to be a VT102 emulator, 
but it's not!  In response to the "device attributes" query
(esc-[-c), it answers like a vt102, but it does not support insert
character mode (esc-[-4-h).  Symptom: text editor like emacs looks
as if it is not inserting characters; a screen rewrite (^L, ^W, etc.)
shows that it really was inserting.  Is there a better PC telnet to use?
