[Simh] Terminal emulation = MS-Kermit!

[Johnny Billquist]

I seem to remember having tested SecureCRT once, and found a few 
incorrect behaviors in there. But I no longer remember the details.

So far, the only emulators I have tested that did not do things wrong 
one way or another have been xterm and DEC's terminal program supplied 
with Pathworks. I do remember back in the day that MS-Kermit was usually 
very good, but I have never properly tested if it really handles some of 
the more odd issues I've found elsewhere.

And I have a small list of my favorite tests that I usually run through 
when checking, so I am not using VTTEST.
