I am, and I'm having problems, too.  But I can help with some of yours.

Common Sense doesn't support 80 columns.  I guess that discredits the title.
For vt52-64, try typing CTRL-8.  CTRL-4 switches back to 40 columns.

I assume you explicitly inform the VAX that you have a vt100, rather
than using either qterm or VMS's SET TERM/INQUIRE.  But if you do, VT100-128
won't respond correctly to the inquiry.  At least my copy doesn't....

I am sure Dr Evil Labs would be glad to help you to a PD copy of
kermit-65 for the C-64.  

Finally, you might have a bad copy of VT100-128.  The copy that came with
my 1670 was also buggy, and I even posted here about it a year ago.  I
am using a friend's copy that he got from his 1670, but that too has some
bugs.  Doesn't ANYBODY have a bug-free version of VT100-128?  Is it
legal for us to exchange copies of this software that we're supposed
to have anyway?
