I've been using TGTelnet (a vt100 terminal emulator and telnet application
for the Pilot) for about a month, and I have to say I'm quite impressed.
You can actually set it up to do 80 col emulator (though you can't see
all 80 cols at once on the screen).  The author has also provided the
termcap info for it, which you can put in to the /etc/termcap file on
a Unix(tm) machine so that it knows what sort of terminal you're using.

While I wouldn't recommend it as your only vt100/telnet application for
use all of the time, it worked great for me for a week while I was at
a conference.  I read e-mail, news, used vi, even surfed the web via
lynx using it.

It's worth a try.  You can find it at:
