Off the top of my head, I can name at least two dozen easy-to-install
free terminal emulators for Windows.   There are probably a great many
more than that. 

Is PuTTY not available for WEENDOZE???

On Mac OS X and Linux, it does a failrly reasonable job of digesting the
VT200 series escape sequences and even does DECSWL and DECDHL correctly.

If you want to test your emulator, telnet to great-escape.tmesis.com and
log in with VTTEST -- no password.   It's a captive account that runs the
VTTEST suite.
