ProComm Plus eats ^_ and something else, ^] I think. I thought THAT was
bad. If a comms program uses ANY Control code it should at least let
the user choose between sending the code (perhaps by hitting the same
key again) and doing whatever local function the programmer thought
couldn't be put on Alt (yeah, I know, W!&#@%S wants Alt for its own
exclusive use, but that's another matter). Oops, back to editors....

    I use ProComm Plus v2/DOS, and it _does_ let you choose, so to
speak.  It has a keyboard remapping facility (check the manual) which
allows you to remap the function keys, the numeric keypad, and so on. 
I remapped them to send out ^_, ^[, ^], and others as needed.  Quite
likely other professional-quality communications packages have
remapping capability as well.
