With all due respect to Wirt, I'm aware of no case where anything that
can be referred to as a "LAN" is anything other than a 100% transparent
channel.

"LAN"s do *not* eat DC1/DC3 sequences!

If your DC1s are getting lost when you switch to a VT connection, it
may be the fault of the 3000 VTSERVER or telnet software, or the termtype
you are using, or the VT protocol software / terminal emulator on your
PC, but it is *not* your "LAN" that is eating the characters.
