Well sort of... The new version of VersaTerm (v 4.1, ~$150) supports
full vt220 (even double high, double wide characters).  Then you
buy the TCP/IP driver for VersaTerm from InterCon (another $150).
BTW, don't but VersaTerm PRO unless you realy need the extra tek
emulation - don't remember which terminal it adds -- regular
VersaTerm does 4014.

Of course you could just buy MacConnect for about the same $$ (if
you wait for version 2.0 they throw in NNTP).

I like VersaTerm's interface but I'm not sure it's worth the
extra expense.
