Anyone out there using DEC's VAXmates?

Well, we got a few and are trying to run Wordperfect on them.  It installs and
runs fine, but we can't seem to get underlining to work.  Yes, we have tried
the Ctrl/f3 (in WP) and using the single color setting and then choosing
underlining, but we either get reverse video (when selecting reverse video for
underlining), or very dim characters (when selecting underlining for
underlining).  In either case, no actual underlining. 

We called the Wordperfect folks with no help - ("Right, what's a VAXmate").

Has anyone seen this on other PC/AT (80286) compatibles?  DEC claims full CGA
emulation, but... 

If there are other VAXmate users out there, I'd like to here from you.

Thanks.
