Easily accomplished.

Doesn't need vp/ix. A unix version exists.

Emulates VT100 and still does high speed.

A program to modify DOS to do this is included with ZCOMM, a shareware
program that has most all the features you mention.
I use Pro-Yam (ZCOMM's big brother) on my AT under both DOS and XENIX.
I started out with ZCOMM and liked it so much I moved up to Pro-Yam. I
can't say enough good things about either product.
The author, Chuck Forsberg has been refining this since CP/M days
(before DOS and the IBM PC).
You can contact him at caf at omen.UUCP. I just saw an article from him a
moment ago in comp.unix.xenix, so I know he monitors this area. How
about it Chuck, isn't it time to let these people know about
Pro-Yam/ZCOMM again?
By the way, I'm just a satisified customer, not a principal or employee.
