I too have used versaterm and find it to be the best. 
Two things still bother me tho...

1) The 4014 emulator does not undestand the text (ascii) from plot(3)
   I'm not the only one who had this problem.

2) When I set vt100 mode I want vt100 mode (even if garbage comes down
   the line looking like 4014 code. Right now the terminal emulator thinks
   I've started a 4014 job and switches. Damn annoying for us who use
   modems and have (slighlty) noisy lines.

Otherwise, I totally agree. Versaterm is one of the best!
