We've used the vt100 emulator extensively since SR9.2 and have
yet to come accross any real problems (especially since Apollo
built in use of the numeric key pad). We're at the stage now where
a lot of our users no longer use their vt100/vt220 terminals, and
simply use their apollo instead.

Perhaps the problem was with 9.5 itself, or perhaps you're using
the wrong version of /sys/vtserver I don't know the correct version
for sr9.6, at sr9.7 it has a last modified date of 1987/08/25.

I hope this helps........
