Does anyone have a terminal emulator with the following characteristics
that I can buy or beg?

I have an XT clone (at home with a modem), and I need a terminal emulator
that will allow me to use the Alt-key as the terminal-meta-key in Gnu-Emacs
(running on the Unix systems at work).  This means that the emulator must
be capable of running at 8-bits, no-parity, and actually transmit the
8th-bit high (I think) when the Alt-key is held down for any character.
The Wyse-85 terminal in my office will do this in VT100-mode, using the
"Compose"-key.  

The other trick I would like for this emulator is that it include a
19,200-baud rate, as I have one of those fancy new modems (USRobotics) with
data compression that achieve idela effective rates of 17,400-baud.

If I can't get these capabilities in an emulator, I'll just bring another
terminal home, though it does seem a shame not to be able to use my PC.

Please respond to me by email--I don't read this list.
Thanks.
