Hey Johnny,
It has been a while since I ran the pdcurses with minicom, but my
recollection is that something sets attributes of the entire display to
blink all the time. Plus when drawing window borders using the VT100 /
ANSI line drawing character, you end up with a bunch of funky characters
intsead of the nice "| ┌ ┐ └ ┘" characters.

If you start mincom with -t vt100 it should force VT100 vs VT102
mode. But I thought that VT102 was mostly compatible?
The VT102 is a superset of the VT100. There are a couple of additional
functions the VT102 have, as well as by standard having a few options
installed that were optional on the VT100.
With that said, I'm not sure what is meant by "flashing mode" here. Is
there some flashing effect with redrawing things, or are we talking
about the flashing attribute of characters, by which they blink all
the time?
