I'm acquianted with 'nansi'; I use it, but was not fully aware of all its
capabilities.

So far as "anonymous ftp", it would be nice to get lots of things, if only
I had arpa access :~-(

My comments about the emulator were to some degree facetious: nobody will
ever convince me that an XT's double row of function keys looks, or behaves,
anything like a VT-100/200/220 keypad. Try running VMS EDIT remotely from
an XT sometime. It aint fun! What I'd really like to see is an emulator that
makes the XT's keypad work as much like a VT-100 keypad as is possible (it's
short a few keys, but that's life). ESCAPE would map out to the GOLD KEY, the
"+" could be mapped to ENTER... I don't know if it's even possible.
