I'm darn glad to haev the real terminals still in operation. I remember
one so-called VT100 emulator for Windows (this would be about 10 years
ago) that gaev a very interesting display when used with EDT on a VMS box...
When I was doing my Ph.D. I kept an old VT100 running (I had the
prints...) simply because it was a lot more reliable (in terms of getting
the emulation right) than any PC product.
Best VT100 emulators I've used so far has been kermit95 (for
Windows), and xterm (for *nix).
The terminal program that comes with windows (hyperterm)
is one of the worst. Gnome terminal is also fairly lousy, but
still better than hyperterm.
