Pardon me for butting into the conversation, but I have done it with my
Option program. The remote terminal should be able to sleep back to accept
ANSI commands during an Avatar session. What you do, is send an Avatar goto
cursor position, and then send an ANSI request cursor position. If you get an
ANSI string back, the remote system at least has ansi, if the response
matches the command sent by the Avatar goto cursor position command, then you
know the system at least has Avatar/0. For Avatar/0+, do a repeat avatar
command, and then do another ansi cursor position. If the cursor has advanced
the number or repeat specified, then you have Avatar/0+. For Avatar/1 due an
Avatar Driver Query Request which is listed in Greg Smith's documents on
Avatar which are VERY informative and helpful.
