Unless one really understands the Xresources and how to move the appropriate fonts from VMS to Linux, build the fontdir, reset the font cache and update the font path, PuTTY is a right-out-of-the- box VTxxx emulation. In this regard, the Mac OS X Terminal.app works surprisingly well right-out- of-the-box. Xterm on Linux will require extensive changes to get it to pass that VTTEST suite. Try your xterm and see how well it does with that test suite. Terminal.app can be used to used to see what should be there if you don't have a real VT terminal.
