Hi.  I'm running SCO UNIX SysV/386 v2.0 release 3.2 and I'm
having terminal emulation problems on the console.  The problem
only arises when I telnet to other machines- setting term=vt100
*almost* works properly, but I encounter some problems when using
a full-screen editor- it seems to have trouble keeping up with
the scrolling and I'm forced to use ^L fairly often to
refresh the screen.  We have another machine here using an old 
version of Open Desktop and we encounter the same problem
there.  Has anyone else encountered the same problem?  I can't
find anything about terminal emulation for the console in TFM,
but I've been thinking that maybe it isn't an emulation problem
seeing as how the problem only occurs while telneting to another machine.
Sorry if this is a frequently asked or otherwise stupid question, but
I've run out of ideas.  Please respond via email- if there is suitable
response I will post a summary.

Thanks.
