NCSA v2.2 source includes source for a `minitel' program which gives you
a (very) dumb terminal emulation via TELNET. You can plug an emulator
over it.

I'm not sure about TERM, but the technical institute in town is running
a TEK 41xx emulator (written by TEKPOINT I believe) on top of Minitel
quite successfully. (I was in contact with the system manager there when
they started this, and except for having to get a driver for their boards,
there was no trouble getting started.)
