We have a customer who is looking for a good low cost terminal emulator for
PCs running DOS (although windows support would be a plus).  Initially they
specified that VT220 emulation was required but they wnat to use at least
10 of the function keys on the PC keyboard and this has been a problem
for those emulators we've looked at so far.

So the spec now is an emulator package which:

	- Supports any cursor addressing/attribute codes that we can
	  map in TERMCAP/TERMINFO
	- Generates some escape sequence for each function key that
	  we can map in TERMCAP/TERMINFO
	- Is commercially supported (the customer doesn't want shareware)
	- Is 'inexpensive' (ie: not as expensive as the fully featured
	  VT emulators such as SmartTerm)

Support for file transfer protocols is not required.

Does anyone know of such a beast?  Has anyone had any positive experiences
and can recommend a particular package?

Thanks
Grant
