/ Amongst others, FLASH, ST-TERM, and UNITERM do creditable jobs of VT100
/ emulation. UNITERM has the added attractions of being free (public
/ domain) and of being very complete. For example, it includes a 4014
/ vector emulation more, and handles 132 column mode. I have the most
/ experience personally with FLASH. It supports VT100 in 24 or 48 line
/ mode. I have logged many hours using this program on a VAX VMS system, 
/ and have no real complaints.

Creditable? UniTerm does that best emulation I have seen on ANY micro.
UniTerm supports ALL the goodies, including bold, underlined, etc. etc. etc.

/ See above for VT100. There are at least two full-featured term programs
/ with VT100 that also support Kermit, ST-TERM and PC-INTERCOMM. I have
/ not used either a great deal. Incidentally, VT-52 emulation is built into
/ the OS ROM, which makes it relatively easy to add VT-100...

There is a desk accessory made by the authors of Flash that supports Kermit.
Also, UniTerm supports Kermit file transfers (but not in batch mode, to the
best of my knowledge).
