Hello,

I'll apologize in advance if this is a question that's been asked and
answered n thousand times, but we're new to suns.

My question is that we've got some suns networked to some vaxen, and we
occaisionally rlogin to the vaxen from the sun.  Since they are VMS Vaxes,
alas, their first question is 'What kind of terminal is this:' which we
answer with 'Vt100'.  Alas, the vt100 emulation of the standard sunwindow
doesn't allow using editors, and it doesn't map the keypad (etc.) to vt100
type keys.

SO, is there a package (ideally, of course, public-domain) that does good
vt100 emulation?  Where can we get it?

PLEASE send replies directly to me since we're not yet getting this
digest.

	thanks very much,
	chris sterritt
