Description:

The FreeTerm application is a terminal emulator for use with any
TCP/IP stack that supports the Acorn sockets interface. Currently
that means either the Acorn TCP/IP stack or the FreeNet TCP/IP stack.

Currently the application provides support for straightforward
telnet, and displays the telnet session in a window which emulates
a VT1xx series terminal (it should support VT102, VT100 and VT52).
