The standard MSDOS kermit 2.3A will work over starlan (old or new version)
and does a good vt102 emulation.  Just "set port net machine_name" and
"connect".
It can be ftp'ed from somewhere at Columbia University (the home of all
kermits) or uucp'ed from okstate or osu-cis.  Or, if you have the current
OSI DOS starlan software, you already have a copy.
