The form of ANSI that is supported by MS-DOS Kermit is roughly equivalent to
PC-DOS ANSI.SYS, minus the video-mode setting items. It is very simple. It
does not need a large termcap.

"Pretty similar" is not good enough. There are critical differences,
including some outright incompatibilities. In fact, if you draw a Venn
diagram, the overlapping areas would be a tiny sliver. In any case, using
VT320 (or VT-anything) in MS-DOS Kermit brings you back to 24 lines.
