Look into MS-DOS Kermit -- it emulates a vt320 plus numerous vt340 features.
I  believe it does handle both SIXEL and REGIS graphics, plus Tektronics.
And the price is right.... it's FREE!  Here's an excerpt from the last
Kermit (electronic) Digest on how to acquire Kermit:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Digest submissions may be sent to Info-Kermit@WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU or
KERMIT@CUVMB.BITNET.  Requests for addition to or deletion from the
Info-Kermit subscriber list should be sent to LISTSERV@CUVMB.BITNET or
LISTSERV@CUVMB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU.  These messages must be of the form:

  SUBSCRIBE I-KERMIT <your-personal-name>    (To start a subscription)
  UNSUBSCRIBE I-KERMIT                       (To cancel a subscription)
  REGISTER I-KERMIT <your-personal-name>     (To correct your name)

Kermit files may be obtained over networks and by mail order.  On the
Internetwork, use FTP to log in to host WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a SUN-4/280
running UNIX (SUNOS 4.1), IP host number 128.59.39.2.  Login as user anonymous
(note, lower case), any password, and GET or MGET (MULTIPLE GET) the desired
files.  The Kermit files are in directories kermit/a, kermit/b, kermit/c,
kermit/d, and kermit/e.  Test versions are in kermit/test.  All files in these
directories should be transferred in text (ASCII) mode.  Binaries are in
kermit/bin (use ftp in binary mode).  You can also get Kermit files over the
BITNET/EARN network; to get started send a message with text HELP to KERMSRV,
the Kermit file server, at host CUVMB.  For detailed instructions, read the
file kermit/a/aanetw.hlp (AANETW.HLP on KERMSRV).  To order by mail, request a
complete list of Kermit versions and an order form from Kermit Distribution,
Columbia University Center for Computing Activities, 612 West 115th Street,

Hope this helps!
