I've got a PD VT100 emulator that I run all the time (usually leave it running with a biff behind my working screen when working locally so I get beeped for mail). I get 80x48 lines, plus mouse support from GNU emacs (that mimics the mouse support on the mg running on the Amiga). It may stretch your budget a bit, but the extra functionality is could be worth it.
