[Simh] Fwd: VT320 Terminal emulator for VMS?

[Peter Moreton]

Thanks Villy,
 
I'm looking for an emulator that supports 8 bit mode; all the free ones I found support only 7bit control characters. But Putty looks good, and I'm sure I can hack the source code to make it do 8 bit controls.
 
Regards. Peter
