The vast majority of emulators out there (both freeware and commercial)
are badly broken. The closest I've found is:
1. MS-DOS Kermit from
http://www.columbia.edu/~kermit/ (unfortunately,
this page seems to be broken this weekend; but you can always ftp
from
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/
2. DEC LK250 keyboard (VT-220-type key layout, plugs into a PC-clone.)
3. The LK250 config file that comes with MS-DOS Kermit.
There are some failings of the above combination, but it works
fine with me for 99.99% of the stuff I have to do.
A very excellent emulator test is Dickey's "vttest"; see
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/vttest/ for details.
