[Simh] Terminal emulation = MS-Kermit!

[Michael Kerpan]

Xterm supposedly does ReGIS and SIXEL, but only if compiled to do so,
which most Linux distributions don't. Ultitmately, VT 240 from MAME is
as accurate as you're ever likely to get, but MAME is a pretty heavy
beast if all you need is terminal emulation.

VT241 (color version) is not implemented yet.  If you want ReGIS commands on terminal, use VT240 on MAME.
