I'd have to look at the entries to back up any technical claims to the
contrary, but anecdotally, xterm is the one entry I can actually depend on
working more or less correctly with PuTTY--surpassing vt100 by far in terms
of stability and usability.  It's been my experience that xterm is the best
one to try.  Obviously it's not working so well for Bill, but I surely
wouldn't hold out hope for SCO's vt100 emulation doing a better job. :/
