Hi! That sounds like great question to discuss with other dosemu2 experts including you, as the serial port emu of dosemu2 has to do a large part of the work in what you want to do, I think? :-) The terminal uses mostly BIOS if i remember correctly, to be slow but compatible? Yet that also means slower and less reliable comm. Regards, Eric PS: The terminal, I think, interprets some basic ANSI itself to be self-contained and faster, but as you say, it lacks features such as translating cursor keypresses to messages to the server. In general, all this has been a very long time ago, though.
Next problem: The cursor always stays in the lower left corner of the DOS screen. This is sort of documented in the manual [8], but I don't fully understand it.
The idea was to either wrap at the end of line for a dumb terminal experience or try to stick to intended coordinates where possible. A slightly more elegant method would have been to let the terminal show the upper 80x25 chars of a 256x256 char coordinate system :-)
