Will telnet do VT100 translation for other term types?

[BRIAN MCBEE]

I am a relative UNIX novice with a question about telnet:

Do the standard telnets that come sith Sys V or BSD do VT100 emulation, or do 
they just pass data transparently back to the terminal?  We don't have our 
Unix system yet (not sure what we are going to buy), but we have people that 
will be logging in from all kinds of different terminals.  We would then like 
to be able to telnet from the unix system to a VAX running VMS, and run an 
application that REQUIRES vt100 terminal emulation.  Will telnet do the 
translation for them, or do we need some other software?

Any and all replies appreciated.
