I use "mterm".  The source is posted on MWCBBS.  It uses /dev/console for its
interface, and therefore supports "vt100" emulation.  It isn't great, but it
is tiny.  I had to make a few patches to it to make it work (like /dev/com1 
change to /dev/com1r).  

Has anyone else experience with "mterm" or "xcmalt" or yet other alternatives?

("xcmalt" is also on MWCBBS, but I've not been able to get it working 
although it compiles fine; haven't had time to read the manual which probably
has the answers;-)

Thanks,
Mark Ellis
