Neither of the above...

ProComm *may* do Tektronix (I'm not sure, I don't own it...), but I know
that VT240 is beyond the capabilities of today's Apple][ (even the GS...
the screen resolution is too high, and using the standard toolbox set
would be too slow given a 2400 baud modem (or even 1200-baud) and an
extended-size window capable of handling the sheer size of the VT240
screen.)

I have finally gotten a modem (on loan) and am trying to complete a
year-old project of a VT220 emulator - if there is enough interest, I
may be persuaded to add ReGIS graphics (If I can find out their curve
algorithms, etc...), but they would be limited...
