[Simh] Terminal emulation = MS-Kermit!

Actually, xterm can support both regis and sixel. However, I don't think 
it supports soft fonts.

I have not tested the graphics extensions to xterm very much though, so 
I don't know how good they might be.

I am truly curious if MAME really handles the soft scrolling as done by 
the VT100...

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