Dear Jacques, I may not be real sure but Kermit works for me.  However,
I'm using a VT180 and that may be translating the ansi in firmware instead
of via Kermit.  Good Luck!

Qterm by the esteemed David Goodenough will emulate VT100 fairly well, if
the real terminal it's talking to has (at least) screen clear, direct
cursor addressing, line delete and line insert.  Char insert and char delete
help.  Look for QTERM42G.LBR on Simtel20.  You'll also need EXL.LBR or
something else that can handle ?Y? files.  However, source is not available.

For the ?Y? files I've used UNCRLZH.COM

Before QTERM will run on a specific machine, however, it needs to be patched.
Obtain a copy of QTPATCH.LBR, which contains patch source code for various
machines, plus ZSM.COM and ZPATCH.COM; programs that make this a relatively
painless procedure.

I've become quite fond of QTERM because of it's scripting capability,
and personally have versions running on Altos 580, Sony SMC-70, 
Televideo TS-816/40 and of course TS-803.
