I have a couple of suggestions:
 
1) Zstem-340 : made by KEA Systems Ltd, of Richmond, BC (CANADA).
    - excellent VT340 emulation.  It has one or two bugs in ReGIS mode, the
      most notable being that it doesn't require ESC / to escape back to
      'VT' mode, only ESC ... this causes problems where the software
      expects a terminal to support both modes simultaneously, for text
      overlaid on graphics.

2) 340gold - don't remember who ... supposed to be good, but is slow.

3) kermit.  Supposedly supports 3xx series, don't know details.

4) QVT340.  Shareware, can get address if you want.  Supposed to be
   released 'REAL SOON NOW'.  If it follows the tradition of QVT220, it
   will be an ***excellent*** package.  Available for LAN's, Windows, 
   extensible with additional license.


Zstem is pretty damn expensive, but you get a complete package.  It has its
drawbacks, but is able to use hi-res capabilities of SVGA cards to really
-get- ReGIS resolution. (800x360 or something)   If you convert to SiXel,
it just can't be beat.  (expensive - >$5000 for multi-user lic.)
