The program I use is NCSA's telnet (version 2.3).  It does a very nice Tek 401xA
emulation (better than our Tek 4109A machine !!).  Also supports VT100 mode,
long scroll back, multiple sessions on different windows, works in background
(very nice when you are running a long program on a main frame while using
the MAC locally for something else), it supports FTP and most importantly
will work over MAC's appletalk LAN into Ethernet via one of the interface
boxes like Webster's Multigate.

And best of all it's Public Domain !!!
