Depending on the application, it can be hard to find a terminal
emulator which implements all the required quirks and features of the
wyse60 (particularly the function keys).

Some years ago the (since recovered) BOFH at $ORKPLACE settled on a
Win32 app called "Anzio" as providing the best wyse 60 emulation then
available.  

If Linux's (vt320-ish) console terminal emulation proves inadequate,
you may need to keep other options in mind...
