I use ZOC V7 from EmTec.  Not free, $79.99 but has been worth it. I bought it 
on V6 and V7 upgrade was free.  Currently any V7.xx update will be free, 
updates are not timed to a year but version.  I'm guessing I'll have to pay for 
V8 whenever it comes (no plans for it that I know of yet).  I've been using ZOC 
for 2-3 years now since I switched from iTerm/iTerm2.  It has semi programmable 
keyboard layouts similar to PowerTerm.  It doesn't handle LAT, but has Telnet, 
SSH, and serial ports.  It can also send commands via rlogin, rsh.  It has a 
macro language based on REXX.  It handles file transfers via SCP, Zmodem, 
Xmodem, Ymodem, Kermit protocols

I've corresponded with the creator. He's friendly and responds quickly.  He 
actually develops it on OS X and ports a copy to Windows so the Mac isn't an 
afterthought like some products.

  It has a 30 day trial.

It’s definitely what I’m leaning towards.  Does it support LAT?

I can't try it right now, as my current keyboard doesn't even have a numpad on 
it, but SecureCRT appears able to do this. Session Settings > Terminal > 
Emulation > Modes > Application keypad.

xterm supports the VT keypad just fine without any scripts at all. Just select 
VT220 keyboard and off you go. (You might also want to set thing like DEL/BS 
and other things, to really get everything the proper way as DEC intended it.)

And so far, xterm is the only terminal emulator (apart from the one in 
Pathworks) that actually emulated a VT terminal correctly.


Is that xterm on Linux or Mac OS X?  I’ve installed XQuartz, and get keys 
undefined errors in EDIT.


It's the same xterm. Maybe you've not selected it to use the VT220 
keyboard then?
Ctrl+Left mouse, and select the correct type of keyboard. Also, check if 
you have 8-bit control enabled, and if the editor in that case can 
understand 8-bit control sequences.


As a way of maybe figuring out what you have selected: telnet to 
mim.update.uu.se, login with user guest, password guest. Once you've 
logged in, type "RUN $TECKEN", and then press keys and see what the 
results are.
