There are two major problems with the Televideo emulations that I have
found:

1) The Home Cursor character (Control-^) is not supported (really odd since
they did set it up for the HOME key to send that character). For me a quick
fix was to set up a seperate termcap entry for the PROCOMM emulation which
just used the standard one, but with the 'ho' attribute left undefined.
 
2) There seems to be a bug in how the status line is updated. If it is
already enabled (via an ESC-g) and then updated (via an ESC-f), the new
contents are *not* shown until the status line is disable and then
re-enabled.

Hope this is of help.
