I have used ST240 from Persoft and it works nice! The only one complaint I may have is that in the TEK4010 mode, you move the cross hairs using CTRL-arrow keys and not the normal arrow keys on the keyboard. I find this bothersome; the arrow keys send some codes other than the arrow code. It was also found that in the earlier version (I forgot which one; possibly v1.0) that there is a little bug with the Kermit transfer. It messes up your DVI file if you send it from your PC to VMS. I don't know if that has been fixed yet. Other that the above comments, ST240 is quite a good VT241 emulator, in my personal view. ...
