VT340 Emulation

Right, according to the few notes I've seen on the packages currently
for sale on ebay.
I hesitate to buy because I picked up a similar piece of software,
Smarterm 240, which seemed to do the desired emulation. It was old
software for DOS, but I have an old DOS machine I use for PUTR I thought
I could install it on and be up and running. It didn't turn out that
way because Smarterm wanted a particular video card and driver (which I
didn't have, of course). I didn't find that out until I got the package
open and tried installing it.
I don't know if the Reflection software has any restrictions like that.
The versions I see for sale are for Win3.1 and such, not exactly the
heyday of plug and play. I was hoping to get some guidance from someone
who has used the Reflection software on what the actual
hardware/software requirements are.
On a side note, emulating a Tektronix 4010 is apparently free and high
quality (see github). It is the DEC graphics terminals that no one has
produced an open source emulation software for, so that's why I am
asking this question.
