A few years ago, I looked at ZOC v7, and others.  I opted for SecureCRT, and 
use it on my Mac and my iPad.  Though the Mac version is well over $100.  It 
seems to have about the best DEC Terminal emulation I could find on the Mac, 
and it supports keyboard mapping.

Seconded on "SecureCRT". It is one of the few programs that I pay for a license 
for. I do believe it has the most complete/solid vt100 and other dec terms 
emulation I have ever seen. Most other term progs only support the basics of 
vt100 and a few more advanced options. I haven't found anything yet that 
securecrt doesn't implement and implement correctly as far as vt100 goes. I 
have never needed anything color-related though, that may or may not be as well 
done.

I paid for a windows license, but I believe I also get free access to linux and 
mac versions just for licensing the windows version. In addition, every time I 
have emailed them (Van Dyke) and said "hey, would be handy to have feature 
xxx", it has come out in the next version. The really do listen to customers 
for product enhancements/features.

It is the only term program I use, as it literally handles anything I've ever 
considered possibly wanting to do (including a pretty full featured scripting 
language). There is one exception - HP terminal emulation - specifically the 
ones with the 8 function labels at the bottom of the screen. For anything 
old-HP related, I use QCterm. Also free, and does a great job with all the 
funky HP terminal oddities 😃

SecureCRT for windows - software + 1 year of support = $99usd. I do the 3yr 
option instead which is $139usd. Of all the software products I have paid for, 
this one is probably the best value to me.
