It is called PowerTerm and it was included in the last Pathworks 32 kits.
It is produced by Ericom. An Israeli company, indeed.
You can still buy it from Ericom's resellers. Nowadays, it is called PowerTerm Interconnect.
Btw. It is a lot cheaper than e.g. Reflection.

I fear DECterm is only thing that supported SIXEL/Regus graphics.   Tek 4010/aka Plot 10 was popular, but by the time DEC did SIXEL, graphics terminals and workstations were already taking over and I don't think they got enough market share for 3rd party SW houses to support it.

I asked one of the original Athena guys if he remembers / knows of anything besides DECterm.

Damn it - SIXEL graphics are just so cool.

There are various third party terminal emulators.
Reflection is one that I know of. (VT340 emulation, including both ReGIS
and Sixel).
Googling around I've found references to Kea 340, SmarTerm 340,
poly-STAR/GW, TTWin, Personal Communications. Just google around, and
you'll find some. Exactly how many are still available today I don't
know. Also, all of them seem to be commercial products.
