Vt1200 is a Xterm and works with any DEC monitor (switch selected on back)
and likely many others. Uses DEC round mouse and LKx01 keyboard. There
is both a terminal line (mmj) and eithernet. If you buy make sure there is
ram installed as they are often stripped. It must have at least 2mb. Also
there is a rom card that must be there.
I have one with VR315 mono and I use it as LAT/IPxwin/telnet decwindows
terminal or as DCE. If you play with vaxen this makes a good terminal
either networked or via MMJ serial.
