Persoft makes Smarterm 240, emulates a VT240 or 241  $345
Polygon makes Polycom 240 , emulates a VT240 or 241  $299

Both require an EGA for full color emulation. Both companies have
a demo disk available. I am in the process of getting both demos
to see which would be best for use in viewing the output of LASAR
logic simulations.  If anyone has used either of these programs
and has any comments I would appreciate hearing from them.

By the way, a VT240 has a dot resolution of 800 by 240, a regular
EGA is 640 by 350 and from a discussion with the folks at Persoft,
Smarterm only shows about 7/8ths of the screen at once. You have
to scroll horizontally to see the rest.
