Where can I find a good layers host program?

Recently a layers terminal emulator for the 3b1 was posted to
comp.sources.3b1. I have tried to get it to work with our computers,
but with no luck. The version of layers that is installed on our 3b2
computers refuses to recognize it as a windowing terminal (but works
fine with the 5620's we have here) and the version of Layers that comes
with MacLayers also refuses to talk to it. I tried hacking the
MacLayers host program to ignore the 'terminal type' response, and
was able to get xtclient to go into multiplexed mode, but as soon
as I pressed a key, I started getting time-out errors.
Is there a good implementation of the layers protocol host program
available out there for BSD or for SysV?
On a similar topic, I am in the initial stages of development of a
terminal multiplexor for MS Windows. I haven't decided whether to
use Layers or a proprietary protocol. Any pointers to good documentation
of the standard would be helpful. The 5620 manuals I have at the moment
aren't very helpful.
Thanks.
