I loved the Fox... (I worked for Concurrent -- the spin off of the P-E
computer operations). Boy it was pretty equivalent to the VT52 of the
same period.

The dog from hell was their 11xx series and 1251.

The block mode sucked with unix.
The 63xx's were remicrocoded ADM's. (ADM12s?)
The 6300 was non-block mode the 6312's had the block mode.
