One VT340 emulator that works quite well is the VT Lan 40. This was
one of the last terminals made by DEC. It ran Windows 3.1 from ROM
and used the LK411-AA keyboard (with the round PC keyboard connector)
displaying on a Super VGA LCD display (1024 x 768 x 16 colors)
It could connect to several (unto 8) systems simultaneously using a
DB25 serial, a MMJ serial, then over its ethernet connector: multiple
LAT, CTERM (DECnet) and Telnet (TCP/IP) sessions. The session windows
allow cut and paste between Windows.
The VT340 emulation seems to be perfect displaying Regis and pixels
correctly and handling mouse movements correctly in the VT340 mode.
Output from Saturn Graph for VMS works great!
It also displays APL overstrike characters correctly with VAX APL
using the ^D prefix described in the APL documentation. It also
handles some escape sequence quirks that RSX KED does that mess up
other VT100 emulators.
I think the VT LAN 40 looks super interesting. Though the mentioned
price is out of my /want/ range. Maybe if I /needed/ it. But I don't
/need/ it.
I wonder what terminal emulator it's running on top of Windows 3.x. I'd
be interested in playing with it on a comparable system.
