We have a VAX 4000 and will be running some sort of imaging/scanning
system on it.  This won't be for another year or two though.
 
Right now we are evaluating terminal emulators to use on our 
VAX and 8 unix hosts.  Ideally this terminal emulator should be the
same for both types of hosts.
 
My question is what do most imaging/scanning systems support in terms
of graphics protocols.  Is it 240/340/REGIS, Tektronix or some kind
of X application.  If we had some sort of idea then we could choose
a terminal emulator with that feature and avoid switching terminal
emulators in the future. 
 
Of course, I realize that in two years things can change substanially
and what is a graphics standard for imaging/scanning may change and
that we will have to change our terminal emulator.
 
Any info related to this subject is greatly appreciated.
