My experiments in using vt100 with rlogin were quite unsuccessful. It
would quite repeatedly hang just after I exited from GNU Emacs on the
remote system (I'm on a 3500 running SR 10.1, and was rlogging in to
various Suns running SunOS 4.0).

vt100's bugs have been loudly complained about here. For the record, the
only way I have managed to use it without problems is via the command

  vt100 -std telnet <host>

(I thought that I could at least have a `big VT-100', but non-standard
screen sizes seem to elicit scrolling problems). 

With any luck, the vt100 command in 10.2 should be a bit more
trustworthy.
