(Regarding the use of a Tandy 1000 / Deskmate for Unix work...)

I tried using Deskmate for a dialup situation here at UNM.  The results
were similar; OK until I tried VI.  I found that I had to get a terminal
program that emulates one of the terminal types offered by the system.
POLY TRM is a program for PCs that works GREAT!  It emulates a VT 100
without too many problems at all. (Some of the special characters are
unavailable, like a backslash, but all in all, it got me through a semester
of fortran!)  

If you have access to one of these specialized terminal programs, by all
means give it a try.   

Good luck,
