using RLOGIN from DOS to Xenix?

[Daniel Wynalda]

I am currently using SCO Xenix 2.3.3 and SCO Xenix 2.2.3 on two 80386 machines
running Excelan's LAN workplace version 3.7.  I also have DOS LAN Workplace
version 3.5 running on an MSDOS based 80386/20.  All three machines have
Excelan 205T cards in them.  I have Xenix-Net for both Xenix machines as well
but not for the DOS machine.

I am having trouble with terminal emulation over telnet.  My arrow keys
(Vt100 emulation) send ESC [ A to ESC [ D when pressed -- to the host.  These
characters are interpreted SOMETIMES as separate characters (what I would
guess/gather is a function of curses).  This is not such a problem when
in 'vi' as "ESC" just takes me out of insert mode and [A-[D are pretty 
meaningless.  However, when in Informix or other programs, ESC is the "SAVE
SCREEN" key and the A-D can be Add, Change, or Delete on ring menus.  This
is not good. 

I have found that, although telnet fails, that rlogin for Xenix->Xenix
terminal emulation appears to work OK.  Could someone please explain
the difference between rlogin and telnet to me?  I assume they use different
servers?   Also, if you know of a source to get an rlogin that will talk over
the LAN WORKPLACE for DOS, I'd be forever grateful.

Any help from anyone on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
