I've noticed exactly the same thing you have.  I've been using Procomm
because its vt100 works pretty well for my girlfriend calling a VAX
using "All-in-one" application software.  Otherwise I've been terribly
disappointed by the terminal emulations.  I didn't realize it was so
difficult!  (In Procomm even the ANSI-BBS emulation doesn't quite work.
If he would just get out of the way and let ANSI.SYS deal with it, I
could write a working termcap.)

I wonder if there's anything to be found in the professionally developed
software that does any better?
