The latest version of MS-Kermit provides VT320 emulation, and TEK4014, with
some extra support for colour TEK emulation.  It is available from
Columbia University.

See comp.protocols.kermit for more information.

How about for the Tektronics 41xx series?  Are there emulators available?

	There are, but as far as I know they are all commercial products.

	Caveat emptor! In my experience, not even Tek has been very good at
faithfully emulating 41xxs on their own hardware. The demos I have seen of
4105 emulation have been pretty good, but I have seen nothing that provides
4107/4109 resolution (that's getting up near the limits of what's possible
with a VGA).

  Is there a publicly available documentation describing the Tek4105?
Do Tektronix sell references manuals on these?  BTW, qk3* under the
directory /kermit/a in watsun.cc.columbia.edu appears to have partial
4100 emulation.
