I've got a KERMIT for a 4p that I got from somewhere else.
I've also written a VT100 emulator in Z80 machine code
that uses TRSDOS/LSDOS supervisor calls for screen control.

You should be able to get KERMIT more locally.  If you need a
copy of the VT100 emulator, send me mail.  I can only really
mail it back as source code, so you'd need an assembler.

As for a VT200 emulator, there is little point.  There are
insufficient keys on a 4p to even emulate a VT100, let alone
a VT200.  The only other significant difference is that the
VT200 accepts single character escape sequence introducers
in eight bit mode.
