Well, Telix 3.11 (I think it was 3.11, it might've been 3.10) had very 
poor VT100 emulation for Vax/VMS systems.  It just can't handle many 
of VMS's SMG routines for screen drawing.  MS-Kermit does this very 
well.  PC-VT is fairly good, but even the new version (10.0) can't do 
all of the screen drawing functions correctly.  At our site we use SMG 
extensivly, and have settled on MS-Kermit as the standard for most of 
our 2,000 or so users.
