Those would be control codes SI and SO which change character
sets on you. A real VT100 will do exactly the same. Use VT320 where
these two codes switch amongst the same character sets most of the
item, or get your phone line fixed. I can't assist with your mainframe
terminal facilties vis VT320's so I wish you luck with that end.
