It seems that my request was not fully understood.  I am looking for a PC
version of TELNET with the ability to emulate a DEC VT220 terminal.  I need
both screen emulation and keyboard emulation.  This is intended to run with
packages like SCT Banner and ORACLE so it needs to be a pretty good copy
of a VT220.
I currently have NCSA Telnet.  It doesn't do VT220.  I have already suggested
putting it in our selves but there are other problems with the package that
make it less desirable.
I also have a package called MD_DOS IP.  It has VT220 emulation, however it
doesn't work correctly.  I have suggested fixing that but have not been
given the time or boddies necessary to accomplish it.
I am aware of FTP Associates and have been told it is too expensive considering
the number of copies we would need.
I was asked to gather information as to what alternatives there were.  I
personnally think fixing MD_DOS is the best bet but I don't make final
decisions.

I never really thought that people would think I was trying to build terminal
emulation into BSD UNIX.   :-(
