I'll print out the manpage. vt100, unfortunately, is not an option; we need ADDS Viewpoint A2 Enhanced emulation that AccuTerm does. Now, I have (without involving screen) proxied telnet sessions by setting the TERM variable to addsvp and the enhanced mode (if I recall correctly) worked fine in AccuTerm.
This will be an interesting project, indeed. Thanks for your help. I will probably create a demo account when I have time and see what I can do to make this work.
