Both VT100-128 and Kermit have been revised.  VT100-128 v2.1 is available on
QLink and Compuserve (and possibly other places by now).  Kermit v2.2 might
also be available on QLink too, but you can get a copy and manual from Dr.
Evil Labs (I'm sure Ray or Kent could post the going price and their address).
Both offer excellent VT100 (VT102) emulation.  While Kermit runs in C64 mode
on a C128, it knows all about the C128 80-column screen, extended keyboard,
and 2MHz capability.  VT100-128 requires a C128 and 80-column monitor.  Both
terminal packages support 3/12/2400 data rates.
