Versaterm ($99 list, I think I paid about $75 from 1-800-BUY-A-MAC a year
ago) or Versaterm-Pro ($295 list) are commercial products that do all this
and much more.  -Pro also has 4105 emulation (in color on a II), allows
local zoom/pan and lets you save the graphic as a pic file (you can edit it
later with MacDraw). These have been discussed on this newsgroup not long
ago, so I'll not list any more details unless requested.

Several shareware/PD VT-100 emulators exist, but I don't know of any
Tektronix emulators. There were at least two other commercial emulators that
did Tektronix emulation, but their names escape me. One was a nice VT-240
emulator from a company whose logo is a pine tree, and I think the other had
"mesa" in their name.
