We use PLOT-10 extensively (unfortunate, but true ... trying to talk the 
powers that be into DI3000 ;-) ) here at the lab, and we have never had
any problems with it driving the TEK emulator on UniTerm. This is true
for both old versions of PLOT-10 and newer hacked versions.

Incidently, for comparison, the UniTerm Tektronix emulator appears to
be about twice as fast as the Versaterm Tektronix emulator on a MacIntosh,
and about 9 times as fast as the Tektronix emulator on a VT240. (Although
this latter result is not surprising as the VT240 appears to convert the
Tektronix commands to REGIS commands before drawing them on the
screen ... silly, but true...)
