Subject: modem7 and emacs

I too have been trying to use emacs (Gosling derivative from UniPress on
VMS) with mdm720. When I turned on the capture option to see what was
received, it became apparent that in terminal mode, mdm720 was eating
the escape characters that emacs was sending to do things like cursor
positioning and so forth. I verified this with a DUMB program that just
took characters verbatim and shoved them from the keyboard to the modem,
and the modem to the screen. Emacs then worked the way it was set up to,
i.e. the escape characters were coming through. Does this match other
people's experience? Does anybody know where the gobbling is happening?
how to enable/disable said gobbling?
