These are fine. MSK supports all of them and far more.
May I suggest you look at the Sun machine to understand what
terminal type it thinks it is using. Try a man page to see the visual
effects too (though most man pages make a hash of the visual part).
Then I will repeat the often stated Requirement that flow control
be effective all the way through the comms chain. That means the host end
must support an effective flow control which its modem understands...
all the way to your desktop PC.
