Good Luck.  I wrote a VT220 terminal emulator while I was working at DEC
as a COOP student.  It has TEK and Sixels (no regis).  I have worked quite
a bit on performance, and never got it to go 19200.  It will go faster then
9600, but not as fast as 19200.  If you find something that is JUST tek, with
nothing else, you might be able to reach 19200.  Maybe, if enough people are
interested, I will write a TEK emulator with performance as a first goal.

PS.  Don't even ask about getting a copy of the VT220... I cannot give it away
because of the employment agreement I signed while working at DEC.
