For me, Procomm's telnet never played nice with filePro on Linux and
emulations such as ANSI or VT100.  Always had to 'rework' the termcaps to
get clean graphics.

Passthrough printing had to be done using a Wyse emulation (50 or 60), which
meant that those users that did passthrough printing had to give up pretty
color emulations such as SCOANSI or AT386.

Procomm didn't support escape sequences, so launching local apps such as a
browser for image viewing or Acrobat Reader for document viewing was out.

All of the above is strictly telnet to a server running filePro.  Better off
with Anzio or FacetWin for this task.  Procomm's strongpoint, I think, was
serial dialup.
