I'm posting this, instead of replying direct, because I think others may be
interested.
	In order of increasing cost, you can use MacKermit from Columbia
University.  It is free and emulates a VT100 well enough to run vi.
For $40, you can register your copy of Red Ryder and get the latest version,
which emulates a VT100 or VT52, including  support for the keypad.
Versaterm is reputed to do a first-rate VT100, and supports Kermit.
Last I heard, it was $99.
