Well, Baud Bandit is pretty fast (slick) if your primarary use of this terminal
for BBSing. (I guess not).  For commercial market, ATalkIII support good vt100
and Tek emulation  (It also have some nice features like *talking* , XZmodem,
Kermit, etc.).  
	The newest release of the Jr. Comm version 1.01 is also very
nice.  It has improved it's vt100 to do backward scrolling, Large size letters,
etc.  It also support other emulations;  among them, IBM color/mono, skypics,
Amiga, vt102, etc.  However, it doesn't do Tek. emulation.  
VLT (PD/share) is
very nice too.  I haven't had too much experience with this one, but I heard
that it has very good vt100 emulation, nice Tek emulator (you can magify and
stuff).  Maybe someone else can fill in on this one.
You could find a copy of the Jr.Comm 1.01 in your local BBS (I'm sure), and
also find a copy of the latest VLT and VLT Jr. in abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov FTP
site.
