ISO VT320 emulator with key-bindings for Oracle Forms

Hello:

I'm in need of a VT320 emulator with key-bindings for Oracle SQL*Forms; it needs to either run under Linux/Unix or else be an old DOS-based application that I can try running under "dosemu" (a Windows-based app through Wine would not be suitable, however).

I'm either looking for an Open Source solution (read: free), or else something from Digital that my place of employment can get through the Campus-Wide Software License.

Someone suggested "kermit", but unfortunately I don't know the key-bindings for the various forms application keys (ie. Menu, Commit, Find, etc.). I've tried other supposed VT320 emulators native to *nix as well -- but found them compliant in the very loosest sense of the world!

Years ago I used something which I believe was called "setterm" or "sethost" (the name escapes)... a DOS-based application from Digital which I believe would fit the bill quite nicely through dosemu -- but I can't find that software, and my organization has *long* since discarded all that old DOS-based software media.

I've searched for a suitable solution several times in the past but I'm still unable to use Forms-based applications from within a *nix telnet session. ;-(

*Surely* somebody out there is using a *nix-based system to communicate with a Vax-based Oracle application server who would be able to hand me a clue?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
