Collective wisdom,
I need a terminal emulator for the DEC VT series of terminals, from VT200 upwards. This is
to connect to an OpenVMS box running All-In-1, so it needs to support double width/height
characters and be a fairly good emulation. Most 'vt compatible' terminals appear
to not be up to the job.
Does any one have any suggestions please? Even better if it supports soft font downloads
so I can use APL aswell.
I've got access to Windows and Linux boxes.
Many thanks, Mark

I use Kermit 95 2.1.3 to connect to PDP-11's and Vaxen. It's not free
($75) but there is a 20-day demo version you can try and see if you
like it.

I think I paid $5 for a shrink wrapped copy at Boeing Surplus a while
back. Too bad I didn't buy all of the dozen or so copies they had at
the time.

I have been very happy with SecureCRT, which supports VT100 and VT220.

What's wrong with the real thing ?
Like a vt240 or vt525 ?
Or do you need graphics ?

My mterm (in decansi mode) is mostly a pretty close emulation, for
output. In particular, it does DW/DH. (Input is substantially harder,
because of the lack of keyboard knowledge in X. Someday I need to look
into whether XKB helps with this....)
ftp.rodents-montreal.org:/mouse/X/mterm.src/ for them as wants.

mterm currently doesn't, but if you can send me enough details on soft
font downloads for me to implement them, I'm up for giving it a stab.
