I'm trying to return to the computing days of

when people hooked graphics terminals to VAXes.
I don't have a Tektronix graphics terminal but I do have a
MicroVax II and a laptop running Debian Linux. Up to now
I've been using the laptop as a console device and
connecting to the Vax using minicom. I thought that the
laptop would be a natural as a Tektronix type terminal.
On the MicroVax I have just started with PGPLOT and MIIPS,
which are scientific plotting packages that run on Vaxes.
I would like to use the laptop to emulate a Tek terminal
connected to the Vax through a serial port, but there
doesn't seem to be anything available to do that. Does
anyone know of such a thing
Hmmm, seems to me the VCB01 and DecWindows would
emulate a
Tek terminal in the terminal window. I don't think you had
to add any software to make that work.
Also, seems a VT220 or a bunch of other terminals would do
Tek 4010/4012 emulation. Lear Sigler ADM36, GraphOn come to
mind.
