Well s4 (unixpc) is close to VT100/ansi, but not exact.  Muhammad S. Benten
sent me a copy of a program called vtem.  vtem used the pty driver that
has been posted to unix-pc.sources before.  It basically opens up a pty
and does vt100 emulation.  It's all public domain, so I'll post it to 
unix-pc.sources.  It's kinda slow, but that's the very nature of the
pty driver.   It should work like you want with kermit and the VAX.
