[Simh] VT220 emulation

For whatever it's worth, I have tried:
   
  Putty - doesn't seem to emulate a VT220 very well. VMS does not seem to recognize it as
             a VT200 nor does edt seem to work.
   
  Kermit - not free and also seemed to have the same problem(s) (or configuration 
              opportunites)  as Putty. It's demo license expired before I could get the thing to 
              work.
   
  IVT - this one was FREE and worked as a VT220 out of the box. VMS (7.3) correctly 
          identified it as a VT220 terminal and edt worked. Now that being said, I have some 
          keyboard mappings to work out and some relearning of keyboard keys, but it did work.
   
  So I would recommend IVT, telnet'ing to localhost on a port that the vax simulator is running on.
