I would like to use my new Macintosh system as a terminal (on a Unix
system), if possible both as a standard alphameric terminal and as
a graphics terminal.  Ideally, I would like VT100 and Tek 4010/14
emulation.  I would also be interested in upload/download software
for MacPaint and MacWriter files.  Does anyone out there know
anything about what's available and where to find it?

I strongly suspect that much of this has already been discussed in
this group; if so, please don't hesitate to send me a summary of what
has transpired by mail instead of rehashing it on the net.

Thanks in advance,

Ed Turner

MacTerminal does what you want, VT100 (very well!) with XMODEM upload/download
which also works very well, I have used it from an RBBS system and to/from
an IBM-PC running VTERM...

There is also a program for the Mac called TekAlike by a company in new mexico
or arizona, I forget which,, anyway, this program does 4010/4014 graphics
on the mac at a full 9600 baud, I have this program on order and will let
the nets know about it when I get it..  
I talked to the head guy about this program and he told me that it would
deffinetly be out the week of 15-aug, so I expect the program next week
sometime (US-snail is slow...)  anyway, I will let everybody know about it
when I get it..
