xterm never gives me any problems. But the default

Somewhere around 2004, I was setting up klh10. I found that xterm did
not allow me to run emacs successfully. I had dumb terminals on hand,
so I plugged a vt420 into my serial port, ran a getty, logged in, ran
klh10 from there and emacs loved it.
I'm following this thread because I too want a decent terminal
emulator that works with a variety of vintage text editors (that seems
to be the torture test) but for Linux or OS X. Putty seems to be a
repeat suggestion but it's not for my platforms.
