[comp.sys.apple] Help req on monitors and Tektr emulators

Hello netpeople, 

I am looking for some help. 

I want to use my IIe to connect to a mainframe and have it emulate a
Tektronix 4010 series terminal so I can view some plots I have
generated.  I have AE Pro and other comm progs, and I even have a
tektronix emulator code (in BASIC) I typed in from BYTE that will
produce plots in regular high-res space, but I sure would like to be
able to use double-high res and not have to exit AE Pro to execute my
basic program to see the plots.  So are there Tektronix emulator progs
out there which use double-high-res, and if not, where can I get
information on how to interface communication progs and my crude
emulator program.

Question 2,  I want to buy a color monitor for my IIe, can anyone offer
advice on these three options and perhaps offer advice on specific brands:
  1) buy a composite with 80-column support 
  2) buy an RGB and buy the RGB adapter card for my RAMWORKS III.
  3) buy a dual function TV/monitor (are these any good ??) which I could 
     then watch when my wife insists on watching something 'icky' on the
     other TV.
LIMITATIONS  I don't want to spend more than $300.  So maybe (2) is out.

    
Thanks so much,        David Legler
