In regards to the similar problems posted of dropped chrs at the 
beginning of a line:
I dusted off some cobwebs about the Practical Periph. serial card and
remembered a conversation with Ascii Express tech support. They told me
to insert a jumper on their card at two locations that I disremember. It
seems as though the card had a problem, not the software. AE's software
could not fix the hassle, it was a hardware mod. (Their card= Prac. Per.)
This was done and the problem went away. No more lost chrs.

The jumping cursor in vt-100 mode seems more like a problem on the main
frame than Kermit or your hardware. Check out the set terminal params
on the Main Frame and insure that the system is expecting what you are
emulating.

The reply to set nulls at the end of a line is on the order of top line 
fixes for dropped chrs. This brings up a point that I feel should be mentioned.

When operating a modem from a remote, there are ALOT of things to take into
account. 1. The modem itself, (dip switches and initiation strings etc) 
2. The cable from the interface to the modem. (I have had to make a null modem
on the Super Serial card jumper block for some software/hardware.) 3. The
Serial card. (From minor mods like dip switches to major ones like electronic
mods to the cards) 4. Telcom software menu mods as well as install mods by
running the "wrong" hardware in the install sequence. 
In essence, the fixes for problems are not allways in the telcom software.
I would exhaust the options for mods at the receiver and then my other hard
learned possibilities. There are too many combinations for any ONE person to
remember. This is why THIS communication service is sooooo necessary.
