Thanks for the information.

This motivated me to mess with this again.
FWIW, The DSR command is present when I run Kermit from within a TMux frame.
This code, [[40;162R, is present when I run without TMux, and just use 
Konsole.
Both sequences are emitted AFTER the password has been input, and accepted.

Using "set terminal type dumb" did not impact the emission of the ESC 
sequence.
I haven't found the "turn responding off" control yet.
