This is true; we have their current version here (ST220) and it does work 
and very well.  It's a little disconcerting; it works almost TOO well (ie: the
'backspace' is really a delete, just like a VT100 or VT220.  I recommend a 
101-key keyboard, though.  BTW, ST220 is a VT220 emulator; VT100 is a subset
mode and also available.
