That was (and probably still is) the best use for a PeeCee. ;)
I used mine as a terminal to a VAX 11/750. It had issues keeping up
at 19.2K. I think I was using Procomm at the time.
The big advantage over a conventional terminal was the capability of
capturing output to a file or sending a file to the VAX. And the
keyboard was better than that on the C. Itoh VT220 terminals that
everyone else was using. This allowed me to do my editing off-line--
or even take my work home.
