I must  admit  that I  am  a little  mystified by  this  discussion of
emulation stuff for the Apple.  Kermit makes a very nice VT52 emulator
-- for free.  The only problem with Kermit is that the  file  transfer
is a bit slow but  for the price,  who cares.  Further,  UNIX  systems
support lots of dumb terminals.  The Apple is quite hard pressed to do
full VT100 emulation so why not go with  something  more modest?  Like
VT52.  Also, if you are going to spend  more than $200  for a program,
don't  do it, buy a  cheap terminal instead  and use  Kermit for  file
transfer.

Also, sorry if I only included ARPA addresses before.  My address is
...seismo!columbia!lexington!polish.  To reach Peter Trei (mother of
Apple Kermit) try seismo!columbia!cu20b!oc.trei (not absolutely sure
of this one).
