As far as I know, there are only two terminal emulators for the Mac that
understand NS/VT. They are Reflection from WRQ and Business Session from
Minisoft. (Business Session used to be from Unison/Tymlabs, but was
acquired by Minisoft in recent years). I'd definitely look into Business
Session first, for several reasons: It will probably cost you less than a
third of what WRQ will charge you for Reflection; the Minisoft people are
extremely helpful and friendly, unlike the WRQ folks; and Minisoft is a
smaller company, and I always like to support the "little guy".

As for telnet clients for the Mac, there are zillions. Visit any shareware
site and you'll probably find several to download and try out.
