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.
