The nice thing about the 1300 is that they provided
dumb terminal
capability as well. There is a switch on the rear of the unit that allows
you to select what personality it is, graphics or text. Of course, for the
time being, I have it being used as a dumb terminal. My only real issue is
that no terminal type seems to work 100% with the unit. I have tried every
available setting, as well as changing baud rates and such, but I haven't
had any luck.
I guess this isn't so surprising; the terminal mode is probably only
considered a stopgap measure until you can configure the X Window
System to work properly.
The terminal works, but any escape characters just get
printed to the
screen. If I set it to any VT type, at least backspace works.
You'd be surprised how much code it is to support the full VT100
escape sequence set :-).
