I've been looking around, and had no luck so far.

The "Softerm" that comes with OS/2 2.0 is *really* pitiful.  

What I'm looking for is a terminal that supports vt100 emulation (TRUE
vt100, with backspace instead of ^H) and, preferably, zmodem.  Backscroll
would be nice, too.

I don't want anything that's GUI.  Reason?  Because it slows it down
considerably, especially at 14400 baud.  The graphical text can't display
as fast as a plain old text window can.  Full-screen is also NECESSARY -
no pitiful little 80-columns-in-1-inch windows.

Does anything like this exist, or am I looking for too much?

Matt.
