Was
there an ASCII and async serial version of a 3174-ish terminal
controller, or something like that?
Nope. The VT-131 depended on application code that processed
block-level screen updates.
The only application I know of that worked with DEC block-mode
terminals was some sort of typesetting program. It's possible there
was more than one, but if so, it was obscure then and forgotten now.
