Pretty much any terminal emulator will have some level of VT emulation
in there. But most of them have some bugs somewhere or another.

It you are really picky, then the only one I've found acceptable is
xterm, and the actual DEC terminal emulator in Pathworks.

I suppose that one isn't free software ...


Right. It's not.
And it only works under Windows. So my weapon of choice it xterm.


But for most people, something like Putty works well enough.


Rather recently I found the "Tera Term Project Page" [1] by chance:

But I can't comment on the program's quality so far. At least there seem
to be several localized versions.


TeraTerm also works. Same deal. If you are picky, then there are a 
couple of issues, but for most people it works well enough.

Tera Term has been my emulator of choice for at least the past 17 years. 
I much prefer it to PuTTY.
