I don't see the problem. TEk 401x are just ascii terminals, solong as the 
applications software will run on the SGI then it should all go. If it *is*
a question of the applications software then you will have to be a lot more
specific.

CA are supposed to have DISSPLA available soon for Irix.

We are looking for an ISPP ( calcomp interface routines, PLOT and PLOTS etc.)
to drive Tek 4014 terminals. 

The other possibility is they might be using PLOT10, which comes from 
Tektronics ( I think).

Cheers, Russell.
