Subj : "Doorway mode" issues (keys)

I login to two BBS that run SynchroNet, regularly -- Black Flag BBS and
The ByteXchange. Both in ANSI mode present a menu that needs to be navigated
with arrow keys in the messages area. I can do this fine in SyncTerm, but on
my vintage machines -- Amiga and Tandy 1000 -- I can navigate the menus on
The ByteXchange but not on Black Flag, and of the two only Black Flag carries
RetroNet. Not all MSDOS term programs support doorway mode -- I am using
Qmodem (which is too slow really on this Tandy) and Commo. 

Anyone had such issues and have advice to help? I'd like to use the vintage
machines (equipped with a WiFi232) to login. 

OR -- does anyone know of another BBS carrying RetroNet that does not use
doorway mode menus? Or at least doesn't run SynchroNet? Thanks.
