[Simh] Telnet problems

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

I have been using the open source Telnet client called Tera Term Pro 
that is available at http://www.ayera.com/teraterm/ .  I have not done 
any DG emulation but it is configurable and could probably have the 
keyboard mappings set accordingly.  I use it communicate both with my 
VAX emulator and Linux systems (which also use the NEWLINE ^J character).
