Here's another possibility that you might consider-- run X windows on your
370 and then use Vermont Views within an xterm window.  I believe xterm
can emulate a VT102 terminal.

This may not be as efficient as a different console driver, although it
might not be too bad be since the X server grabs the display memory.  On
the plus side it uses existing parts, doesn't require coding, and even gets
you the network transparency of X too.

As usual, I speak only for myself, not HP.  I only use windows and have
nothing to do with developing or supporting X or console drivers.
