If you add the optional numeric keypad to the Mac, MacTerminal (for
example) will give you the complete functionality of a VT100 keyboard.
Differences are the lack of a line-feed key, the overloading of the 
escape key (used for escape, backquote and tilde using shift and
control/shift) and a different placement for the function keys PF1 to PF4
(they are on the keypad, and require a shift character). MacTerminal even
makes the function LED's available on the screen. I can use it (I've done
some minor remapping, see my recent article on that) to make it a little
more convenient, but it works quite well with our local version of Emacs,
which really likes the keypad. I work with a VT100 compatible terminal at
work, and the Mac at home, and I use the same termcap for both with no
problems, and have no problem switching between the two.
