I use procom plus for windows myself on my win 3.1 rig. Its the only terminal emulator I've found thus far that has decent ANSI emulation & has telnet support that will run on win 3.1. It works rather well to be honest.

I wonder if the more recent versions of it will run in win xp without needed
to be run in a VM? 

I know for a fact that procom plus 2 for windows will work in win 10 using otvdm/winevdm (mendelson.org/otvdm.html), I tried it in the weekend and it runs just fine which surprised me. I wonder if that would work in win xp??
