When I dial in to the NeXT, with kermit (PC or Mac) occasionally some scrren 
control codes don't work properly.  Generally it is around the time that
the screen should be cleared, but sometimes the screen does clear (it always
works in the same place and always goofs up in the same places). 
Generally I get it when I log on, before the first prompt appears, but I get
it when I quit a few programs and lots of times in the Goper client (1.1 I
think?)  Sometimes it goofs up with words in the man pages, I think thos words
are inverse or underlined.

The most common code is ?[;H?[2J and it generally starts with ?[; but not 
always. 

It NEVER errors when I am running terminal from the console, and I don't think it errors when I use NCSA telnet on the Mac (TCP mode).

Any suggestions??  It doesn't bother me much, but the others using the modem
don't like it very much and worry about the strange chracters, especally when
screenfuls of information overwrite themselves.
