I have submitted to net.sources a simple Tektronix 4010 
terminal emulator for the Macintosh, call it MacTek.

The program DOES use the cross-hairs.  It works on the tools I commonly
use, but I made no attempt to adapt it to all 4010/4014 plot-10
software. I stressed utility rather than completeness, as it runs
slow enough with Microsoft BASIC.

The Tektronix mode runs at about 300 baud, it XON/XOFF handshakes,
so you can use your 1200 baud modem.  From what I here about
MacBasic, it could be rewritten to run at 1200 baud, with maybe even a
couple more features.  And.. with a REAL language like 'C', well..
needless to say, I can hardly wait!

A scrolling ALPHA mode exists as well, as that mode is faster for
text work, and you don't have to clear the screen all the time.

Notice that the basic character I/O routines are from the MacTEP
program posted earlier.
