Does anybody know of an existing Flex component that does VT500 terminal emulation?

We are gradually replacing terminal-based user interfaces with an AIR-based GUI.
We would like to have a terminal emulator embedded in that new AIR GUI, in order to give our users an integrated user experience when navigating between our old and new software.

Emulation of other VT-series terminals than the VT500 could also be usefull.

Btw, I’m not interested in writing it myself (nor having it written for me) because it would only be a nice-to-have in our software architecture.

Thanks,
Pieter

    Isn’t the whole point of using Air and upgrading the technology is that you DON’T need to use a terminal anymore? Seems a bit redundant.

    I don’t think you’ll find anyone that has already created the emulator, but it can’t be that hard to implement if you really need the functionality. I know I’ve seen an AJAX implementation of it (anyterm.org) that uses the ROTE library for the virtual emulator. You might want to look into that.
