DECterm does allow graphics.? I've used it, but can't remember the details.
For me the options were:
1. get a real VT340, already have a VT240
2. emulation software on a PC
3. DECterm, not a great option, works but if you want to use it remote
the hardware multiplys
4. xterm, this was new to me, easy under linux

Hopefully I can see about getting this up and running one of these days.
I find myself wondering what it would take to build this on a Mac, the current Mac xterm
*SUCKS*!!! On the Mac, I can?t seem to use the custom DEC keybindings.
Actually does DECterm support either Sixel and ReGIS? I?m dead on my feet, so won?t
power up my VAXstation 4000/90 and look.
