I don't think there are many terminal emulators left that emulate a
VT-100 strictly. Most add some features a VT-100 didn't have (e.g.,
ANSI color, Unicode) and leave out some stuff that is rarely used or
hard to implement (double-height mode, application-controlled
keyboard LEDs, 132-column mode, etc.) Generally they're actually
"emulating" some cross between a VT-100 and an ANSI terminal, or a
VT-100 and an xterm.
Actually, the most thorough VT-100 emulator I can remember ever using
was the old MacOS serial terminal program Red Ryder. It *did*
emulate double-height mode and keyboard LEDs, the latter via a pop-up
window.
