Kermit emulates vt100 and Tek4014 and it's free (as far as I know). 
I haven't found out though, how to store the Tek4014 image and convert
it to HPGL like it is possible with some commercial terminal emulators.

It's also possible to use telnet with a slip packet driver, but I don't
know how that would work with a modem.

I think that Kermit may work.  Version 3.11 supports VT4010 emulation,
if that's good enough.  It's free.

  I run Windows on my 486 at home and use a shareware package called
WinTerm100.  I downloaded it from an ftp site as a .zip file.  I can't
remember off the top of my head whether it emulates Tek, but it does emulate
DEC formats.  It's probably worth checking out anyway.  From memory, the file
was called winterm100.zip.  When I looked for it there were plenty of sites
which had it, so you should have no problems getting a copy,

	And much of 4014's, HDS graphics terminals, and VT340 Sixel, all
under the guise of TEK so it's easy to remember. The operations supported
are detailed in text file MSVIBM.TEK, on watsun.cc.columbia.edu, cd kermit/a.

KERMIT can emulate Tek 4010 and DEC VT100, VT220, VT320 (at least
version 3.11 which I use just now to write this message).
And it at least can be tried free, get it (e.g. by FTP) and read
docs to know if she need pay (for commercial use would need).

	All accurate except for the very last point. Kermit use is always
free. Financial arrangements come into play when a Columbia Kermit becomes 
part of another product package offered for sale. The Kermit Project is
heavily dependent on such arrangments and on the sale of the user's books,
plus <too infrequent> donations. If corporations were to contribute a fraction
of the cost otherwise spent on a commerical product we could do much more,
and faster too, and buyers would still enjoy the benefits of a commercial 
grade product with Tech Support and a professionally done user's manual 
(Digital Press and Prentice Hall does the publishing).

Why would anyone buy the manual when you can get it by anonymous FTP
from watsun.cc.columbia.edu in postscript form already?  Just download
the manual and dump it into your pscript laser printer and you have
a very professional-looking manual for the cost of a download.

Cheers,

Chris

How about an IBM4xxx (forget digits)? I have a friend in China
who asked me to look for a package which could emulate an IBM4xxx
(I do not know IBM terminals but assume this is some follow-on
to 3270?).
