Here is a snippet from the "frequently asked questions" file in the
"comp.windows.x" newsgroup; it mentions a British company that seems
to sell a software package such as you need.

|  Pericom produces Teem-X, a set of several emulation packages for a number
|  of Tek, DEC, Westward, and Data General terminals. The software runs on
|  Sun 3, Sun 4, Apollo, DEC, ISC, IBM/AIX. Information: US: +1 609/895-0404,
|  UK: +44 (0908) 560022. [5/90]

and then you might inquire to another software vendor mentioned in the X FAQ:

|  Century Software (+1 801/268-3088) sells a VT220 terminal emulator for X.
|  VT102, Wyse 50 and SCO Color Console emulation are also available.

While I'm up on the soapbox, I'll take the opportunity to mention that
some collected information on various video terminals is available for
anonymous FTP from CS.UTK.EDU in "pub/shuford".  That machine may be
down for maintenance a day or two this week, but the stuff should be
there until the next Great Disk Space Crunch.
