I have also given PC-VT a try, and I've been pretty happy with it.
My needs don't include 100% vt100 compatibility - the PC-VT documentation
admits to the double height character omission [DECDHL - not ANSI anyway?],
and some others.  I have used the Xmodem support, and it's *great*.  Of the
six to ten terminal emulator / communications programs I have seen, I'd say
PC-VT ranks at the top of the list.
