    That's cool!

    What's a Tektronix 4404? Is it a graphical terminal, like the Tektronix 4014 that xterm emulates? Is the software running on the device itself, or is it just displaying the output of software running on some other computer in the background?

      It is a m68k-based workstation, not a terminal, so the software runs on the machine itself.

    Very impressive work, and a truly subversive device to be hacking on .. I wonder what else is going to come of this ..

    first job I was tasked with adding support to a DOS application that culd be reached by a Tektronix emulator over a 1200 bps dialup link.

    While imagined it was possible, I never expected to see it manifest itself.
