I'm assuming that you're stuck with hooking up to an IBM mainframe,
since your id says "uicvm" (IBM VM/CMS, right?). The best terminal
program I've found for hooking up to an IBM mainframe is HandShake, which
has a very IBM-compatible Kermit module. The 1K-packet-length Kermit in
"VT100" disagreed with our IBM mainframe at USL. Handshake also does a
reasonably good VT100 emulation, which is important for hooking up to a 7171
protocol converter or some other fake-3070 kludge.
