I need to connect up to a DEC VAX computer and run software on the VAX that needs a Tek 4010-style terminal. In addition, most anything connected to a VAX needs vt100 emulation as well for text modes. Thus, I'm looking for a Mac terminal emulation package with: * Tek 4010 emulation * vt100 emulation * Kermit file transfers * Store phone numbers and dial a Hayes-style modem (not necessary) I would prefer a shareware or freeware package, but if necessary, I'll buy a commercial package. Any pointers to packages would be appreciated. Thanks, -Eric -- Eric F.

These have been discussed on this newsgroup not long ago, so I'll not list any more details unless requested. Several shareware/PD VT-100 emulators exist, but I don't know of any Tektronix emulators. There were at least two other commercial emulators that did Tektronix emulation, but their names escape me. One was a nice VT-240 emulator from a company whose logo is a pine tree, and I think the other had "mesa" in their name.
