TIOSCTI isn't your only problem.
Much 'fun' can be had with terminals that support a settable
answerback message.
Possibly that is limited to physical serial terminals, but some
emulators might be 'good enough' to support the relevant escape
sequences.

Even the default answerback message can be very confusing.
