My father uses Telix (I'm not sure which version) and he can't use any
curses programs when he dials into my UNIX system.  Seems the ANSI-BBS
and VT-100 emulations aren't complete enough to handle all the screen
access.  The same seems to be true of an older version of Qmodem that
I tried.  I have a user using Procomm and he seems to have no problem
and MSKERMIT also works fine.  Anyone had similar experiences?
