We are using FTP Software's PC/TCP (both version 2.04 and 2.05) to telnet to
a VMS (OS V5.3-1) VAX with UCX. PC/TCP is designed to (attempt to) provide
VT220 emulation, however UCX is failing the terminal negotiation for VT220.
PC/TCP and UCX finally agree on VT52 emulation. I really want VT220!
When telnet'ing to our VMS systems which run WIN/TCP (Wollongong) we get VT220
emulation as advertized.
All this is occuring before the login prompt. I can rectify things in my
login.com doing SET TERM's, but I'm looking for something better. I suppose
I could do SET TERM/PERM/... but that may affect other devices telnet'ing
into those same devices (i.e. Suns).
Any pointers from current PC/TCP <--> UCX users will be appreciated.

VMS fails to recognise *many* pure ANSI terminals that don't respond to the DEC-specific enquiry "ESC [ c" - this might be your problem. One workaround would be an IF statement in your LOGIN.COM to determine what terminal type you have already, and use SET TERM/ANSI if needed. Ideally, the terminal type determination in SET TERM/INQ should also check for cursor position report, then it would work with Televideo 970's, Sun (etc) workstations running telnet, and DG terminals in ANSI mode (not that everyone needs to use these, but ANSI is supposed to be an industry-wide standard, not DEC's own concoction).
