> A VT132 is a VT100 with AVO. There are no other differences.

Wrong... (I think). My memory may be hazy but...
The VT132 (and 131 I believe) both were capable of block mode.
The 132 (I thought) was a 102 with block mode, AVO and Printer port
capability.

The VT131 had Block mode, STP, AVO done the old way... All three
options and different roms.

The 132 was a cost reduced 131 based on the 102 which came standard
with 24 lines of 132 (without AVO) -- It was built in the standard
VT102 logic board.

The VT101 was a 102 without the AVO memory (I think) and was the bottom
of the line VT10x in cost.

I think the 102 and 132 allows hardware flow control like the VT220.

There were some interesting illegal (and legal) escape codes that did
interesting different bugs to the VT100, 101 and 102 based on their
setup settings. One of these bugs caused hell for VT102 and 101 users
when the EDT program slowed their scrolling down to a crawl back around
VMS 3.2 or so.

      Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
      The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
