I've tried many different things.
xterm does do the TEK emulation. Inside of xterm I can connect to the
Vax with kermit.
seyon is part of Debian and claims to do what I want, but I haven't got
it to work yet. Complaints about 'No profile with UUID or name Seyon
exists'.
Someone else said MS-DOS Kermit will do the emulation. I'm warming up
to that, because there is another DOS program called Conex that runs
under DOS
and will do the emulation of 4014 plus 4105 (you get color!).
The laptop I am using is a DELL Precision M4300, has serial port for
this. I have a floppy drive for it that replaces the DVD drive...
Maybe I'll try that...

There should be lots of Tek stuff in X11, they were one of the
original consortium members.
While you are fishing around for software to run, I have MOVIE.BYU
from one of the guys here.
ISSCO's DISPLA should be around, but I have not found it.
Look on youtube, there are a bunch of of clips of folks doing just
what you are about to do.

*Subject:* Tektronix Terminal Emulation
I'm trying to return to the computing days of yesteryear when people
hooked graphics terminals to VAXes.
I don't have a Tektronix graphics terminal but I do have a MicroVax II
and a laptop running Debian Linux. Up to now I've been using the laptop
as a console device and connecting to the Vax using minicom. I thought
that the laptop would be a natural as a Tektronix type terminal.
On the MicroVax I have just started with PGPLOT and MIIPS, which are
scientific plotting packages that run on Vaxes.
I would like to use the laptop to emulate a Tek terminal connected to
the Vax through a serial port, but there doesn't seem to be anything
available to do that. Does anyone know of such a thing?
