Not this old chestnut again !!! Fire up an xterm, or konsole, or whatever you fancy, on the client desktop. Telnet into the uv server, SET.TERM.TYPE VT100, and off you go.
End of story. *ANY* linux command shell will almost certainly emulate a vt100 as its default setting. And if you have multiple emulators with multiple emulations, it's not that difficult to write a program that goes into LOGIN, fires off the "answerback" sequence to the terminal, and sets up the correct terminal type. Here we had a mix of wyse85s, pt200s and pt250s, and wIntegrate (we're now down to wIntegrate running pt250 emulation and the odd wyse in vt100 mode). Barring screw-ups the user never enters terminal type because it's all sorted out automatically.

One possibility is to find a terminal emulation program which runs locally on each desktop under Linux. A second possibility is to setup a server and use a web browser (such as Mozilla or FireFox) on the user desktops to access the applications. Ideally the solution will work on both Windows and Linux desktops given that some desktops will likely have to remain Windows based. We run Universe 9.6 and currently use a mix of Dynamic Connect and Wintegrate 4. Our current emulation is Wyse 60. I look forward to hearing about any good or bad experiences anyone has had.
