First off, thanks as usual for all the great
discussion. I learn so much
from this list.
I reduced the baud rate to 300, and had no problems. Increased to 1200, and
things kept working. I'll leave it at 1200 for now and keep playing around.
Still, there's one thing doesn't make sense. When I'm using the VT100 in
Linux, connected to the same host computer at 9600 baud (just not running
SIMH), things function flawlessly. I can do large textual outputs. I can
view man pages and perform editing sessions with proper screen codes. No
corruption and no sign of the terminal struggling to keep up, even though
Linux is throwing characters at it way faster than the emulator could. But
go into SIMH, and it starts to fall apart.
Oh well, more experimentation.

Your tty from Linux probably has XON/XOFF flow control enabled. You
could do an 'stty -F <terminal_device> -a' and see if ixon is set.
(And SIMH probably disables that setting.)
