emulation for Vt100
A poster simply asked for recommendations for VT100 terminal emulation software (for connecting to Informix hosts). Rather than a technical problem, the thread is a list of suggestions: PuTTY (free, fast, accurate telnet/VT100 client, though limited function-key remapping), QVTNet for richer key support, Hummingbird Exceed and Reflection (Exceed better for screen sizing, Reflection better for 4GL function keys), Affinity (Bull/Integro), Esker TUN, James River DejaVu, FacetWin, and the VT220 emulator in Whizz60. No single recommendation was agreed on and the original poster didn't report back.

I use both exceed and reflection. I prefer exceed as I have more control over screen size, etc., but I can't configure all the function keys. So, when I need to run 4GL programs that make extensive use of function keys, I use reflection.

The function key redefinition options are a bit limited though. I use QVTNet if I need lots of fancy key support - it's much slower and costs money, but it works well enough.
