yes c-kermit
the first part of the battle is to figure out what sequence your AIX app is looking for.
then you just do some set keys to those (you have to give up some regular keys for this)
For instance, if you look at my above script, I gave up the \ key for cancel, the / key for send, the ~ for help, etc.
I was lucky to find the sequence that my app was looking for.

So in a way you are forcing emulation, to a degree
