I worked for a company that produced such a terminal (Advanced Electronic

Sorry Al,
I guess I trimmed that email to well ;-)
I removed the part which says, that it couldn't be serial, because the
picture was loaded faster than the "assumed" 19200 baud.
I dare
say we can safely assume it's not a serially connected terminal
(even ignoring that I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a serial
terminal with bitmap graphics with a resolution close to this).
I agree here ;-)
