connecting RR (VT100 mode) to a UNIX box (Sun 3) via modem yields
less than satisfactory results.  when using EMACS to edit files,
very often (but not always) TABs are not redrawn and use of BACKSPACE
produces a garbled line, leaving one with no idea where on the line
the cursor really is. redrawing the screen fixes the garbling, but
often changes the TABs, usually not correctly.

i noticed some of this using RR's VT52 mode as well, but i was never
sure if it was phone noise or not. this time i'm positive it's RR,
since MiniTerm (v2.9.6)'s VT100 mode works flawlessly.

1) has anyone else experienced this problem?
2) is it indeed RR?
3) is there some option in RR which will correct this?

PLEASE SEND REPLIES VIA E-MAIL.

thanks.
