For a very good VT-100 terminal emulator, try PC/InterComm<tm> from
Mark of the Unicorn<R> in Cambridge Mass (They're the MINCE, Scribble,
and FinalWord folks.)  The program goes for about $100.00 retail and
will support your printer, upload and download (dumb or XMODEM), and
run at 9600bps if your connection will allow it.  It's head and shoulders
above VTerm (cost less, more features, better documentation, and not
copy protected, to name a few) ***Aside - I do not condone software
piracy.  All of our copies of PC/Intercomm for which I am responsible at
Duke are purchased.***  It supports the VT-100 protocol up to the hardware
restraints of the IBM-PC (e.g. no smooth scroll or 132 col, etc.) in every
application that I have used (EDT, VI, and GEMISCH - trademarks all).
     Other packages that claim Vt-100 compatibility, that I haven't used,
are CrossTalk and the Persoft offerings.  If you need VT-125 capcbility,
Persoft may be the only game in town.
