Are you sure you want a 'terminal' program? Normally you would start SLIP
or PPP in order to interfere with the *Internet*.
For both, IP access and normal terminal access you can use 'tip' for a
start, yes, even sz would work: quit tip (don't forget "AD&D0") and start
sz like this:
sz </dev/tty00 >/dev/tty00
Otherwise you might try 'seyon', available on ftp.uni-regensburg.de as
binary (for 1.0 or even 0.9 if I remember right). This is a full featured
terminal program for X.

Ever read the Amiga-NetBSD-X FAQ?
chmod go+rw /dev/{mouse[01]|kbd}
chown root /usr/local/X11R6/bin/X
chmod 4755 /usr/local/X11R6/bin/X
