Any faithful VT100 Emulators?

Its VT100, VT101, and VT102 emulations "fail" VTTEST in exactly the same ways that the real VT100, VT101, and VT102 do (point is: VTTEST is a fool's paradise, and anything which 100% passes it is *definitely* not 100% VT100-compatible). The best E11 flavors for the VT100 emulation are for Windows and OS/2 (those give you pretty much *everything*, including smooth-scroll and blink and true double-size characters and the correct VT100 font and the SET-UP 0 screen scramble). DOS and stand-alone give you a good text-mode approximation (minus smooth scroll, and blink isn't quite accurate, and the double-size characters reassign unused char-gen cells until they run out and then it starts to look like a ransom note), but the Linux version works only on text consoles (mainly because I haven't found a linker that builds from OMF386 .OBJ files yet also handles ELF imports correctly, so I can't build it against X). Currently there's no free-standing version (it exists only built into E11), which I've been meaning to deal with for centuries (and I'm currently -- as in for the past week -- working on a version for XMOS microcontrollers as part of my "SchmELF" CDP1802 project), but meanwhile if you go here: www.dbit.com/pub/e11/ ... and grab the "vt100.ini" and "vt100.pdp" files, that gives you a simple loopback program which makes the E11 VT100 console act as a terminal connected to whatever's assigned to TT1: (a serial port or "TELCLIENT:" Telnet client are the most useful -- which currently rules out OS/2 I guess).
