I would like the original poster to be more specific about where
emulation fails. We also have a bunch of VAXes here, and a correctly
configured xterm (for keypad keys and a DEC font), or even better
rxvt, have always been close enough to the real VTxxx for me.
For instance, here is an extract of my XTerm resource file for a
RS/6000 (sorry, I never did the same for a PC, you will probably have
to change some of the the keysyms):

Kermit95 is not free AFAIK (pity they changed their policy).
As for Unix Kermit (C-Kermit), all the versions I have seen so far,
although quite useful, do not have a built-in emulator. They rely on
whatever they are lauched from (xterm, rxvt, dxterm, dtterm...).

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
