How much interest is there in a "CRTSTY"-style program for VMS
that could convert between any "reasonable" terminal and
something VT100ish?  Trying to do this with DECnet is not going
to be fun (I'm running V3.3 and haven't looked at Phase IV)
since RTPAD essentially works by passing $QIOs/$BRDCSTs through
the net.  This is one of those things that would be a lot easier
if VMS provided pseudo-terminals (TOPS-10, TOPS-20, and RSTS/E
do!).  (Not to mention things like output capture programs...)
Since I'm on a *real* network I'm simply inclined to write a
user telnet with VT100 simulation.  This is hardly a new idea;
VT52 and Datamedia simulators have been around for many years.
