In that case, wouldn't it be great if the sources still exist? You could 
build a new Windows version with secure communications, IPv6 etc., and 
Linux / MacOS versions.

I suppose it would even be possible to emulate newer VT terminals as 
well, like the VT520 and VT525 colour terminal.

Much easier to use than Xterm.......
