OK. Thx a lot.

Due to the incompatibility/bug issue of Eterm I've gotten rid of the entire
VT100 sequence and am now using a CR. This works even under Eterm.

So far I haven't discovered any slowdowns due to the fast that I'm now
rewriting the whole line instead of just 5 ascii values (plus the VT100 stuff).

I'm now trying to limit the output rate to correspond with the CRT refresh
rate.

Is 100 Hz the standard value to use in this case or are there monitors out
there that use a higher refresh rate?

Cheers.
