We are considering the Alisa range of products for Macintosh integration
using our VAX here at MRL.
We will be having both LocalTalk nets bridged to our Ethernet using Kinetics
KFPS4 and Webster Multigate bridges, and directly connected Macs (using
EtherTalk).
Does anyone know if AlisaTerm provides terminal emulation, or does it only
give the DECNET CTERM protocols so that other products can then use them?
If this is the case do you have any suggestions for a terminal emulator
(commercial or public domain) that would make use of the supplied CTERM
protocols??

The AlisaTerm package only gives the CTERM protocols. You need to buy the terminal emulation packages separately, Reflection or Mac240. Contact Ian Lee at Praxa for more information. You get terminal emulation with Pacerlink, and rights to multiple copies of the emulation program. The protocols supported by Pacerlink is PNT and TCP/IP. NCSA telnet is really a good telnet emulator program, and it's free!

We have the AlisaTalk package and AlisaTerm here on site. The Alisaterm we have is not an emulator. All it provides are some resources which can be installed into either Versaterm or Mac 240 (those 2 only) so that you can hook up to the vax that's running the decnet gateway via the Kinetics box. It's not particularly fast (pretty slow actually) and to be quite honest, if you've got a fastpath#4 and ethernet then you might as well go for NCSA Telnet which is free, fast and reliable and allows connection to any machine with a Telnet service on the Ethernet.
