I would be curious to know how well DEC products do at passing validation
suites such as Larry Campbell's VT-Test.  Note that DEC manufactures, or
has made, several "vt100-compatible" terminals, including several models
of vt100 hardware/firmware, vt100+avo, vt101, vt102, vt132, and [less
compatible] the vt2xx series.

My experience has been that even pure vt100s can differ substantially in
their behavior, especially in tests where timing is involved (like RMS,
I'd prefer not to use XON/XOFF).
