SecureCRT does full keyboard remapping, it's really nice.

For REGIS graphics from a Windows environment I found 2 programs that will 
support REGIS and VT100, VT2XX, VT3XX , VT4xx, VT5xx terminal emulations:-



  1.  Micro Focus  Reflection Desktop for X  (expensive)[Enterprise market] 
[supports Windows, AIX, HPUX, solaris, linux]
  2.  DCSI E-Term32 Plus (much more reasonably priced @USD$149- for single 
license) [Windows only]



Both of these support all the DEC emulations and allow full keyboard remapping 
so that when using EDT in RSX11M-PLUS the numeric keypad works as intended.



I particularly wanted a terminal emulator that supported REGIS graphics – and 
now use both Reflection Workspace as well as DCSI E-Term32-Plus.



Most of my access currently is via a VT2XX style terminal emulations – with the 
REGIS Graphics usage to come later.

Primarily PDP-11 access currently – RSX11M-PLUS with BQTCP TCPIP suite allowing 
Telnet access.



I also found a third VT1XX style terminal emulator that also supports full 
keyboard remapping which is TTWIN64 – and it is an excellent program – but 
aimed at the Enterprise market so is also somewhat expensive. TTWIN64 does not 
support REGIS Graphics though.



If I had only been wanting VT100 style emulation then SecureCRT is quite 
reasonably priced although I’m not sure to what degree its terminal emulation 
supports keyboard remapping as it has been a while since I last used it.

ZOC and SecureCRT are both rather pricy. ZOC is $80, while SecureCRT is $100. 
Also, neither of them support ReGIS or Sixel graphics, which would be fun to 
have. If I'm going to be spending $80-$100, I'd frankly rather just build 
something based around Xterm on a Raspberry Pi.
