  Currently, in our apollo lab here, (DN3000 running 10.1), when we need
  to edit on an external (non-apollo) machine via rlogin, telnet, etc.,
  we are required to run the vt100 emulator to get the full power of
  curses, etc.  Unfortunately, this emulator is buggy and also clobbers
  many of the nice apollo dm cursor keys and movements, etc.

The way I do this is with X.  For just a straight vt100 window, use xterm.
For emacs, I recommend you get epoch, the multi-window X based emacs.

You still lose DM features, but with the appropriate keydefs you can at
least cut and paste between X and DM pads.
