I have found that MS-Kermit, available from watsun.cc.columbia.edu, works
quite reliably as a VT102, VT220, VT320 emulator.  Since I had a 286 dumped
in my office at work, I've been using MS-Kermit 3.01 as a terminal emulator
for accessing VMS, 4.3BSD, 2.10.1BSD, and SysV 3.2 systems.  Connections
are either direct link, Ungerman-Bass broadband, and various LAT/TCP ethernet
boxes.

Dumped the ProComm, Polystar, or whatever that came along with the machine.
The emulation implementation was the pits which resulted in different set-
ups being required for each environment.

XON/XOFF flow control is provided since it is part of the VT emulation. 
I don't understand your comment about no flow control.  A VT100 can't
support a 9600 baud line without using XON/XOFF flow control.
