One of the limitations I'm running into is that BBS software really
likes "hotkeys" (e.g, prompt responses that don't require a
carriage return). This is particularly problematic with Synchronet's
backspace detection; using a typical ax.25 terminal session, there's no way
to respond appropriately because text isn't sent to the remote until
after pressing "return", and things like backspace/delete are never
sent.
