Try running cu inside "screen", screen's termcap entry is very much like
the vt100 entry. Try running screen, then before running cu, type :

export TERM=vt100 (sh or bash)

or whatever it is for your shell. Then run cu, and tell me what happens.

(Remember to exit screen when you've finished with it *grin*)

Or, try running it inside pcvt for X, and use the vt100 termcap (obviously
you'll need X running anyway).

Cya.
