Problems w/ LINK MC5 terminal

	I use a Link MC5 terminal (ROM Version 2.01) to call work from home.
I am having a couple of problems tat I hope can be remedied.  I primarily
use the terminal in VT220-7 emulation mode.  Please send any responses
directly to me.

	 - Rcv handshaking does not "save": trying to set either the MAIN
port or the AUX port handshaking to NONE doesn't seem to work.  If I attempt
to save this configuration, the setting reverts to XON/XOFF.

	 - the escape code to place the terminal in WYSE 60 (native) mode
doesn't seem to be working: if the escape code <ESC>[42h is issued, the
terminal's bell goes on and stays on, and the size of the screen seems to
get "squished"; the keyboard becomes unusable and the only recovery is power
off/on.

	I would appreciate any help with these problems.

							Thanks,
							 Mike
