Hello everyone:

I use C-kermit 4E(072) on my 386 box running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 to communicate
with a VAX running VMS.  The question I have concerns terminal emulation.
When calling from the VAX, Xenix prompts for a terminal type, and I have
no problem communicating from my VT220 terminal.  However, when calling
from the Xenix system, I do not seem to be able to set a terminal type (on
the VAX) which properly understands the keystrokes I'm sending.  The default
terminal type from the Xenix console is ansi.

What I appear to need, is either an appropriate device under VMS (as in
set term/device=*****) or a way to have my Xenix console send characters
that <can> be understood; particularly by the editor, EVE.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
