     Someone mentioned QVT.  A very good emulator - probably the best around,
except the stupid thing doesn't handle graphics!  So I dropped them a line,
and they said that since DEC is going the route of workstations, X-windows,
etc, they wouldn't be adding graphics.  That was a couple of years ago, and I
just discovered that they have been improving their product since then.  It
still doesn't do graphics, and I am pretty pissed off about that.

     SmartTerm works nicely, does nice Regis/Tektronics graphics, but
something bothered me about it, because I quit using it.

     The software by KEA systems was also OK (I went to their office and got
them to show me a demo), but I felt they spent so much time making it pretty
that they forgot to make it functional enough to please me.

     Finally, there is, of course, MS Kermit 3.0 itself, which does a very
good VT300 series with Tektronics graphics - and allows you to redefine your
own keys if you don't like where they put them.
