:
An X server responds to X protocol for putting pixels on a screen.
Xterm responds to VT100-like escape sequences. It need not run on an
X server. "xterm emulation" might just as easily mean "responding to and
sending the same set of escape sequences as xterm".
: P.S. Is including Tektronix emulation in Kermit95 on the horizon?
:
Yes.
