The best VTxxx terminal emulator I have seen is SmartTerm 240.  It
emulates VT100, VT52, VT220, VT240, VT241, VT640, Tektronix 4014.  It
also runs the graphics modes supported on the VT 241 and can be made
to very sucessfully emulate a Gigi terminal (basically a VT241 that
could run Basic).  The emulations are as perfect as I have seen on
any program and yes, it does do 132 columns on the screen if you have
an EGA card.  It also suports tektronix graphics.

I don't remember the cost of the program, but if you want true VTxxx
terminal emulation including graphics and 132 column mode, then this
is the only real choice I have seen.

The maker of the program is PerSoft.

Disclaimer:  I have no connection with PerSoft other then the fact that
my father bought SmartTerm 240 and I use  it when I dial in from
my house.  I simply beleive that after having messed around with many
programs that claimed VT100 compatibility, this is the best one
available.
