I've found windows telnet to be most unsatisfactory. It's not really
vt100 or vt102 compatible, it isn't really ANSI either. The windows NT
version is different in behaviour to the Win95 version. I would quite
like it if someone has actually got a description of what escape codes
it can and can't do -- in any format but preferably in a terminfo format.
Probably Win98 will do something different again <sigh>.
