I think that you mean TV950 or TV925, terminals from TeleVideo.
They were pretty common terminals in use with Z80 (CP/M) machines.

There was a terminal emulator that included the Televideo series
in the Gizmoz package of utilities from Digital Creations.
Gizmoz is an "old" package, and I don't know if it is even being
sold.  You might advertise for a used copy of the package; I
don't think that I would buy it new even at cheap mail order
prices.

I think that it was a terminal emulator and nothing more (no
Xmodem, etc.)

You might inquire about the terminal emulation capabilities of
Atalk-III.  I don't know of a PD televideo emulator.
