using minicom as dumb terminal

[Rohan vichare]

Dear all,
 I wanted to know the best free terminal emulation software in linux for
following requirements
 1] vt220
 2] bidirectional printing support
 3] facility for serial communication configuration
 I am using puppy linux 5.2.8 and ubuntu 12.04
 and rs 232 communication media
 i am trying to develop dumb terminal which will be connected to  terminal
server through the rs232 and this will be connected to main  server with
ethernet
 i wanted to get connected to the terminal server and then want to get  the
print from the printer if file/data has been sent for the print  direclty
 the printer status is monitored so bidirectional printing is my
requirement
bidirectional printing is all about
 "Using the printer port to print may be useful if you don't have an  extra
port on your PC for a printer or for "point of sale" use in a  store.
"Transparent print mode" is where whatever the PC sends out to  the
terminal goes instead to the printer. If you want the printer to be  able
to send bytes to the PC (in the reverse direction) then (per Wyse)  it's
"bidirectional mode". The Wyse "auxiliary print mode" is just  transparent
print mode where the terminal screen monitors what's being  printed."
 Please tell me any other information i have to give to get good result
can i use minicom for all these requirements will it be a gud choice
Thanks & Regards
