There are some excellent terminal emulation software available (in my
opinion).  I have a strong gripe/problem with all of them I have tried
(IT, Procomm, PC-VT, Smarterm 100, Kermit).  I need a configuration, 
meaning VT-XXX emulator s/w and a keyboard with which I can use the PC
as a terminal (on VMS VAX, ELXSI, Unix VAX) without having to be alert 
for the differences between the PC and a true VTXXX.  That obviously 
would require a keyboard with the same keypad layout as a VT100/220, and 
emulation software that would produce keycodes identical to a true VT100.
If anyone knows a combination keyboard and software that would produce 
a true VT100/220 terminal emulation (meaning all EDT-style keypad codes),
please enlighten me.
