A few years ago, I looked at ZOC v7, and others. I opted for SecureCRT, and use it on my
Mac and my iPad. Though the Mac version is well over $100. It seems to have about the
best DEC Terminal emulation I could find on the Mac, and it supports keyboard mapping.

Seconded on "SecureCRT". It is one of the few programs that I pay for a license
for. I do believe it has the most complete/solid vt100 and other dec terms emulation I
have ever seen. Most other term progs only support the basics of vt100 and a few more
advanced options. I haven't found anything yet that securecrt doesn't implement
and implement correctly as far as vt100 goes. I have never needed anything color-related
though, that may or may not be as well done.
I paid for a windows license, but I believe I also get free access to linux and mac
versions just for licensing the windows version. In addition, every time I have emailed
them (Van Dyke) and said "hey, would be handy to have feature xxx", it has come
out in the next version. The really do listen to customers for product
enhancements/features.
It is the only term program I use, as it literally handles anything I've ever
considered possibly wanting to do (including a pretty full featured scripting language).
There is one exception - HP terminal emulation - specifically the ones with the 8 function
labels at the bottom of the screen. For anything old-HP related, I use QCterm. Also free,
and does a great job with all the funky HP terminal oddities ?
SecureCRT for windows - software + 1 year of support = $99usd. I do the 3yr option instead
which is $139usd. Of all the software products I have paid for, this one is probably the
best value to me.
