I currently have several programs that display nice color text on the
SCO Xenix console.  They attempt to send the same colors to a DOS PC
running a terminal package using ansi.sys or ansi.com and the colors
and reverse video are goofed up.  I have a program off the net called
'afilter' that will filter DOS ansi color to work properly on Xenix's
console.  Is there a program that will do the opposite?  

If I can do it with termcap or other modification of Xenix's setups
(why wouldn't setcolor work on a terminal?).  I imagine it has to do with
escape sequence filterting.... Anyway, if anyone does this on a regular
basis I'd like to know how.  I'm actually using the a program over a
LAN to get the data to the DOS PC rather than a serial port, but the
escape sequences should work the same...

PS.  I can grab a Xenix modem over the DOS PC LAN and call a DOS ANSI
bbs and the color works beautifully.
