I can recommend PC/InterComm from Mark of the Unicorn for an IBM PC
VT100 emulator.  I use it here on an IBM PC in lieu of a VT100 type
terminal on Berkeley 4.2 UNIX.  We run EMACS as well, which seems to
be a pretty demanding test of a terminal or terminal emulator.  
PC/InterComm supports speeds up to 19.2 Kbaud, but unless the VAX
is pretty loaded up, EMACS will send control sequences so fast that
PC/InterComm can't quite keep up.  (It's possible this problem
is really the serial port's problem.)  It works perfectly at 9600
baud --- our CIT-101 terminals won't.
