From what I'm told it sounds very like a
text-mode ASCII dumb terminal (Z80
CPU, ASCII display, diskless) - yet it has a network port on the back, rather
than an RS-232 connection to some other intelligent machine.
Chances are its just a serial port but with a network cable style
connector.
The easiest thing would be to open it up and see what kind of chips
the connector talks to -- if its a UART, then its RS-232 over a funky
connector. If its an ethernet chip, well then you have something
oddball.
