This issue of the terminal switching to 200 mode when it gets an inquire
sequence sounds familiar.  It has been long enough that I may be recalling
incorrectly but I think my early VT240 did this.  But as I recall I later got a
ROM upgrade installed that fixed that and several other type ID and emulation
related problems.  The 240 is gone now so I can't check it but I don't think I
have seen it happen with my 340.

I am note sure the answer is the same for the 220 as it is for the 240, but I
think it may be.  Basically, Handshake may be faithfully emulating out of
date firmware.

In other words, in discussing what you observe VTxxx's doing, it may be a good
idea to include the version number of your firmware (generally shown on the
setup screen).
