Follow up question then.... 

 

The value of the pchars option is 23600,  is this octal? Hex? Decimal? 

 

If I want to pass all characters then I would need a value of 37777777777 
octal….

The pchar mask is to tell which characters are let through on the console port. 
It's "printable characters".

 

Essentially, characters not in that mask just gets dropped without being 
printed.

 

Will it affect escape sequences? Yes, if the escape character, or any other 
character in that sequence are among the characters filtered out, then you will 
not what you might be expecting.

 

As for "usable VT emulators", it all depends on what your expectations and 
demands are.

Pretty much any terminal emulator will have some level of VT emulation in 
there. But most of them have some bugs somewhere or another.

 

It you are really picky, then the only one I've found acceptable is xterm, and 
the actual DEC terminal emulator in Pathworks.

 

But for most people, something like Putty works well enough.
