Not sure I follow? If you connect to my bbs on port 516, it'll talk to you in viewdata, so without a viewdata terminal it wont mean much.

Are you wanting Synchronet to render/convert ANSI to viewdata on the fly, so that the same ANSI experience is rendered in viewdata (albeit 40 chars width)?

This https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/. Richard has a viewdata emulator when you start the BBC Basic environment (cant remember what its called). It is pre-configured with ccl4 and glastty and a couple of others from memory.
