-thanks, but I also need access to at least 10 function keys for my
-emulation to function properly.  I can get ansi mode to come real close,
-but when in ansi mode, VI will erase charaters when moving past them &
-other characters at the end of lines etc.
-
-I am using SCO UNIX and SCO XENIX (joined together in a TCP-IP network)
-depending upon which machine I need to work on.  Both have the same
-problems with TELIX.
-
-I have been forced to use the James River ICE.TEN package when editing
-which is a hassle, switching back and forth (ICE.TEN [or dejavu] does
-not have and file transfer software built-in).

ZCOMM provides both.  Accurate VT1xx emulation that passes VTTEST
screen operations with user mappable keys, and real ZMODEM.
