FWIW, the reason I like Tek mode is that the protocol is so simple I can
easily keep it in my head. On those rare occasions I need a graph, I can
whip out a Tek graph quickly and easily. I've used it for things like
displaying the interrupt latency of a machine and finding where a
particular trace on a PCB I'm trying to debug goes. In addition to
Kermit's Tek mode, I also use xterm's Tek mode (it can generate a
postscript plot from a Tek screen) and a couple of real Tek terminals I've
pcked up from the local university's surplus equipment disposal programs
(I have a Tek 4006 and a Tek 4105, but I don't know how to do anything with
the 4105 beyond 4010 mode; I don't have a 4105 manual).
