Just look at the price of used serial consoles with Sixel support.

Some hardware can be replaced by software... but not all of it.

My kingdom for a windows terminal emulator that supports both [xyz]modem and sixel and can connect to a physical serial port.

If/when Windows Terminal integrates sixel support, any cheap laptop should be able to do that OOB (some of them with a USB to serial adapter of course)

If TeraTerm would add sixel I'd be really happy since it does almost everything else I need perfectly.
