dxterm not working right for VMS

I'm having some problems getting dxterm on a DECstation 3100 to work
when DECnetted to a VMS machine.  We do a SET TERM/INQUIRE in the system 
login and a SHOW TERM is identical with a SHOW TERM from a SET HOST session
from VAXStation 2000 running VWS.  A few things that seem odd follow:

	1. Control-Z, Control-C, and Control-Y all echo from the VMS
		machine as ^Z,^C,and ^Y rather than the reverse video
		Exit,Cancel, and Interrupt.

	2. The arrow keys do not work properly for command line editing.
		I've tried both application cursor keys and normal cursor
		keys in the GENERAL setup for dxterm and neither setting
		works properly.

All of this is while using VT300 mode,7-bit controls.  SET TERM/INQUIRE
returns an "unknown terminal type" when using 8-bit controls.

Anyone have any suggestions?
