VT340 Emulation

[Douglas Taylor]

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
