[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Tek emulator software for PC.

wkb@cbnews.ATT.COM (Wm. Keith Brummett) (03/21/89)

    I received many replies to my recent posting asking for a Tektronix 4107
    emulator program for PCs.  Many of them were folks just wanting a copy
    of any pointers I got.  So, here's a summary.

    Several people mentioned EMU-TEK by FTG Data Systems.  Their address is:

	        10801 Dale St., Suite M-2,
	        P.O.Box 615
		Stanton, CA  90680
		(714) 995-3900 or (800) 962-3900.

    There are apparently several different EMU-TEK products, emulating
    several different Tektronix terminals.  Prices range from $300-$500.

    A lot of folks raved about TGRAF-07 by Grafpoint, Inc.  Their address:

		1485 Saratoga Avenue
		San Jose, Ca. 95129-4934
		(408)-446-1919

    Lots of nifty features, everything you could ask for in an emulator.
    Nobody had a bad word about this one except for price -- about $850.

    A couple people mentioned that Kermit has some limited Tek emulation.  A
    couple of pointers without much info were to something called (or by?)
    Coefficient, and a product AT&T used to carry called Tango.

    What did I end up with?  Well, it turns out that someone just a few
    offices away from me had an older copy of TGRAF-07 for the IBM PC.  I
    called Grafpoint, and they are going to send me an update to the latest
    version (2.4, I believe) and a device driver for my AT&T DEB card.

    Thanks, one and all!
