I have been using Omniterm Plus, from Lindbergh Systems, 617-263-5049
for a couple years now and found it works great with vi, vnews, etc.
I has TTY, VT100, VT102, VT52, and VT200 emulations.  It has XMODEM file
transfer, and runs upto 19,200 baud.  Also, they are very responsive to
questions.

The original Omniterm was a much more restircted terminal package.  It
didn't work with a VT100 termcap but required a special termcap.  It
did not support XMODEM.  If you need to use a wide variety of mainframes
and need to insure file integrity then Omniterm Plus is worth it.
If you are getting by with Omniterm then why change.
