 I recently passed along some questions about Telix to Colin Sampaleanu,
and the following is his reply:

To Cheng-Lee Nee:
 
   The VT keypad actually operates in two modes, application keypad mdoe
and numeric keypad mode. Due to the way the Telix key setup is done 
Telix is always in application keypad mode. I would expect that this 
version of vi turns on numeric keypad mode, and expects the sequences 
appropriate to that mode (4 different ones). I will actually be making 
it possible to do this for v3.12 (there will be a conditional clause in 
the KEY assignment).
 
To Andrew Patrick:
   Telix does do a wrap at the end of line by default. If in your use it
doesn't, I'd guess that the remote system is sending the VT escape 
sequence to turn it off, for some reason...

I hope you folks find this helpful.
