<p>While PuTTY is functionally "OK" on both Linux and Windows, it is
not particularly "accurate" as an emulator of the real VT102
(which it identifies as)</p>
<p>A ROM based emulator may be more accurate, in addition to having
more lifelike fonts etc. I have no personal experience with Mame.</p>
<p>So, in all, it depends what you are looking for. I feel most
comfortable using PuTYY with the "Glass TTY" VT font (look it up,
nice piece of work!)</p>
