I've got a vt62.  You've never heard of it?  I'm not suprised.  It looks
like a vt52, with lots of differences.

the escape key is marked select/deselect
the tab key is marked error reset
the control key is marked delete char
the return key is marked next field

etc etc.  There's a bunch of led's to the right of the keypad:  Ready,
Insert Mode, Keyboard Locked, Display Area, Keying Error, Clear to Send,
Function Keypad, and Carrier.  The ones that stay on are Ready, CTS, and
Carrier.  There's a volume for the bell and keyclick, neither of which
are vaguely similar to the normal vt52.  The baud rate switches are
actually out from under the mesh, with pre-cut holes and are actually
labelled.  It claims to do some sort of synchronous comm if you want it to.
It has an online/offline switch, and another one just like it that says
"Not used".  I'm suspicious, however, since the previous owner taped it over.

Heh heh.  Does anyone know how it acts differently than a vt52?  How to turn
the lights on and off?  It seems to work okay with the vt52 termcap.
