vt-100 problems
>From CBF@MIT-MC Fri Feb  5 22:49:25 1982
Yes, you get line/char insert/delete on VT132's and VT100's with the
printer port option.  Can you ask him why their implementation is so
slow that for char insert/delete it is faster to retransmit the line at
speeds above 1200 baud?  As for line insert/delete, the scroll region
stuff can be used to simulate the operation faster than the line
insert/delete commands!  At least they could take advantage of the
argument to do one insert/delete, instead of having the operation take a
time proportional to the number of lines or chars inserted or deleted.

I don't know about the VT101/VT131; are they any faster?  I was incredibly
disappointed by the VT132.  That terminal cannot even take characters at
9600 baud.
