I'm fine with just telnet, cterm and lat. :-)
However, windows only... Hrm.

Well, isn't VTstar related to Powerterm (the thing DEC shipped with 
Pathworks?)

Ok, I should also say that Powerterm seems to work absolutely right, but 
then again, since it came from DEC, and also speaks both telnet, lat and 
cterm (and even ssh), I would expect it to work right.

SO I lied. I actually knew one more than xterm...
(xterm, by the way, was also worked on a lot within DEC.)
