The gnome/kde terminal emulators are not as compatible with a real VT
as xterm is, but you still have to discover where the function keys have
been re-mapped to the PC's keyboard.
Nice thing about Linux/simh, is that you can start it up in an xterm
window, and it just works. No need to open a second window to do the
actual work in, setting up the networking, running as root, etc...

Any reasonable xterm-like tool in the Xwindows world has VT100
support.
On Windows, there's Tera Term, which works well. I
had troubles
getting it going on WinXP, but that may be pilot error.

Hyperterm (bwaaa-haaa-haaa). Worst emulation of a terminal by
any commercial company, IMHO.
Kermit-95 is one of the better terminal emulators available for Windows,
but it isn't free. It also lets you transfer file in/out of the emulators
(with appropriate kermit installed in the simulated os).
None of the terminal emulators for windows will open a window directly
on the same system (like a dos-box). You have to open a dos-box, start simh,
open the terminal emulator, and attach to a port created by simh.
