I should think it shouldn't matter, unless it was flow control, which it
shouldn't be.  Telnet in this particular case, at any rate.

scoansi

TERM=scoansi
PFTERM=flansi (a modified cansi to cut out the \264)
Anzio set to emulate scoansi (old-style).

BTW, I did kill the close on conn loss and found out why it's trying to
resave--it's getting set back to full duplex again somehow.  Which code am
I looking for?  And I'll see if I can't bang this into submission.  My fP
termcap manual went missing years back somehow.  Back when they actually
supplied them, I had one.  Wish I still did--I'm not sure where the custom
codes are documented.  Some are deducable, others not so much.

There is no "I" in TEAM.
This would be the primary reason I've chosen not to join one.
