Could this be the explanation? (From BUGS.TXT):
253. HINT: Using SCOANSI emulation with SCO hosts
There is a type of terminal emulation commonly called ANSI, which is used by
BBS's. It is very simple -- essentially nothing more than what you get with
ANSI.SYS on a PC. Then there is the highly evolved and complex version of it
used on the SCO (and Unixware) console. Kermit 95 supports both; the first
emulation is called ANSI; the second is called SCOANSI. However, the *name*
SCOANSI is unknown on SCO systems. They call it just ANSI. So if a Telnet
client such as Kermit 95 comes in announcing its terminal type as SCOANSI, the
SCO host doesn't recognize it. In Kermit 95 1.1.8 and later, the Telnet
terminal-type negotiation feature will cause Kermit 95 to change to another
terminal type, most likely "plain old" ANSI. To work around this problem in
Kermit 95:
set terminal type scoansi
set telnet terminal-type ansi
set terminal character-set transparent
Or on the SCO system:
Copy the /usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.src entry for ansi to an scoansi.src
file, changing "ansi" to "scoansi" in that file, and then run tic on it. In
/etc/termcap, add "scoansi" as an alternate name in the "ansi" entry.
SCO will add "scoansi" as an official terminal type (or, more precisely, a
preinstalled synonym for what it now calls "ansi") in its next OpenServer
release. (However, as of OSR5.0.4, they have not yet done so).
