HP uses its own protocol for block-mode terminals.  The best reference is
probably the terminal manual (the HP2394A Reference Manual (p/n 02394-90001),
for example).  With that, an HP terminal, and a data scope, one can figure out
the protocol and put together an emulator in just a few months (:-).  But
seriously, it's probably not worth the effort; an HP terminal or a PC with
terminal emulator is a less expensive solution.
