Tektronix Terminal Emulation

[Douglas Taylor]

I've tried many different things.

xterm does do the TEK emulation.  Inside of xterm I can connect to the 
Vax with kermit.
seyon is part of Debian and claims to do what I want, but I haven't got 
it to work yet.  Complaints about 'No profile with UUID or name Seyon 
exists'.

Someone else said MS-DOS Kermit will do the emulation.  I'm warming up 
to that, because there is another DOS program called Conex that runs 
under DOS
and will do the emulation of 4014 plus 4105 (you get color!).

The laptop I am using is a DELL Precision M4300, has serial port for 
this.  I have a floppy drive for it that replaces the DVD drive...  
Maybe I'll try that...
