I've used cool-retro-term for Linux.  It was interesting for a few minutes, but then I stopped using it.  It's just not the same as the actual CRT because the screen size is all wrong.

I've got a monochrome, green phosphor monitor that I'd love to get working again, but I don't have anything which outputs to it except a Commodore 64.
