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): XTerm*VT100.translations: \ #override \ BackSpace: string(0x7f) \n\ KP_Add: string(0x1b) string("Ol") \n\ Num_Lock: string(0x1b) string("OP") \n\ KP_Divide: string(0x1b) string("OQ") \n\ KP_Multiply: string(0x1b) string("OR") \n\ KP_Subtract: string(0x1b) string("OS") \n\ Pause: string(0x1b) string("Om") \n\ KP_Equal: string(0x1b) string("OP") \n\ Insert: string(0x1b) string("[2~") \n\ KP_Enter: string(0x1b) string("OM") \n\ KP_Decimal: string(0x1b) string("On") \n\ KP_0: string(0x1b) string("Op") \n\ Delete: string(0x1b) string("[3~") \n\ KP_1: string(0x1b) string("Oq") \n\ Home: string(0x1b) string("[1~") \n\ KP_2: string(0x1b) string("Or") \n\ Up: string(0x1b) string("[A") \n\ Down: string(0x1b) string("[B") \n\ KP_3: string(0x1b) string("Os") \n\ F35: string(0x1b) string("Os") \n\ KP_4: string(0x1b) string("Ot") \n\ Left: string(0x1b) string("[D") \n\ KP_5: string(0x1b) string("Ou") \n\ End: string(0x1b) string("[4~") \n\ KP_6: string(0x1b) string("Ov") \n\ Right: string(0x1b) string("[C") \n\ KP_7: string(0x1b) string("Ow") \n\ KP_8: string(0x1b) string("Ox") \n\ KP_9: string(0x1b) string("Oy") \n\ Cancel: string(0x1b) string("[29~") \n\ Print: string(0x1b) string("[28~") \n > > At least on the PCs, the definitive terminal emulator that we use here at > the UO for our Banner applications is Kermit95.

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...).
