My experience is that Kermit is about the only terminal emulator that
somewhat correctly emulates a vt220. It also happens to be the only
program I've encountered that I really can control the serial port
properly with.
The tricky part is that I think that Kermit for windows actually costs
some money. All other kermits are free. Maybe MS-Kermit will work in
W2k. Try it. Since I don't really run Windows I can't say for sure if it
handles TCP/IP, but Kermit on Unix does through telnet.
