   arrow keys aren't ANSI sys stuffs... neither are F keys... they're terminal   
   keys which should be modeled into the terminal program to pick up on...

   yeah, wow... the telnet client doesn't do ANSI sys stuff, really... termcaps   
   are a real dance with the wolves... the termcap you use locally or via telnet   
   is not the same termcap as what syncterm and others use... but then again,   
   maybe what you are having trouble seeing is the >127 characters? the box   
   drawing and frame characters?? if so, that's gonna take some different majik   
   than just a termcap... that because your terminal is probably running in UTF-8   
   and may or may not be mapping those characters to their UTF-8 equivelents...
