I highly recommend ProTerm 3.x, though it costs ~$90. I'm not sure
where to get it. This is the last address I had for them:

If those addresses doen't work, check the FAQ for comp.sys.apple2 or (if
there is one) for comp.sys.apple2.comm:

One way to fix this is to change your terminal characteristics to match
that of the Apple //. If you know the system administrator, you could
hack through a termcap/terminfo entry for your comm program and the
sysadmin could install it in their system. Otherwise, I believe you
can set the TERMIO (or TERMCAP or TERMINFO) environment variable to the
entire entry.
Here's a post I saved about a termcap/terminfo entry for ProTerm:

You can find out what all that stuff means by reading the manual pages
for termcap and/or terminfo (``man termcap'' or ``man terminfo'').
Hope this helps!
