If you talk about 'normal' tektronix graphics, that is, line graphics,
there are certainly several programs; NCSA Telnet (at all good FTP archives)
is basically enough (though it screws several complex graphics), and
commercial software (e.g. Versaterm Pro) does a good job with several
add-on options. If 'setplot' isn't configured at your site try $ TEKTRONIX
and answer the questions approprately. $ REGIS would be a key word for
DEC 24x/34x type of graphics such as in TCP Connect II (also commercial).
We have run MacX without trouble (if speed and screen size are acceptable
to you) if you $ set display/create/transport=tcpip/node=my.node.name.comain
and $ xwindows adterwards. There is a glitch with Mac X ' Memory, best
is to try a rootles b&w first. Otherwise allocate at least 4 MByte to Mac X.
(Same or similar commands apply to UNIX: setenv DISPLAY my.node.name.domain
is needed to set the DISPLAY variable).
