$Has anyone had any real success with the IBM 3151 terminals under

   It sounds to me like your flow control, if any, isn't working properly
and you're sending data (particularly control codes) faster than the
terminal can handle it.  I've had similar problems with IBM 3164s.  Try
doing tests that send a few escape sequences (the more they do, the better;
clearing the screen and tabbing around might be good choices) and then run
a command that sends several lines of output.  If you start losing bits,
then it probably means that you're sending data before the terminal has
finished processing the control codes.
