Well, before you get too far along, you might want to look at FTEK.
It is a vt100/tek4010 terminal connection kinda like fterm. A bit
slower than fterm, but it does handle vt100 text and tek4010 graphics
fairly well. It was based on one of the older vt100/tek emulators for
the Amiga - don't remember which one though.

Mounts the Unix filesystem on your Amiga (with some restrictions). I
can pretty much assure you that if you don't know about it, you
haven't been using it.
