Hi,

Does anyone have or know of a terminal emulator which runs under GNU
Emacs that emulates a (or even a variety of) standard terminal types?
(particularly Sun and VT100)?  The terminal.el that comes with Emacs
defines its own type of terminal.

We have some software that needs a particular type of terminal
(doesn't pay attention to termcap) and would like to have Emacs
availible within the terminal. 

It seems like one could use a keymap to map incoming escape (or
whatever) control sequences to terminal lisp functions so by putting
in a new keymap one could emulate a different terminal.

This needs to work without X.  (Yes, I know Emacs can't do reverse 
video (expect possibly theres a way to do it if you are under X)).

If no one's done this, I probably will.
