Success story.
Got the VT1200, took the mouse apart, fixed it, hooked up the VRE01 flatpanel,
got it tweaked and working.. Got a MMJ and a DB9 adapter from Doc Shipley,
they work fine (serial console).
Went to Goodwill, got a 12port (gak!) 10baseT hub (old D-Link) with a 10base2
uplink on the back. Got cables.
Got home. No 10b2 Ts and terminators. Called friends. Friend had a box of
them, left four Ts and two terminators on my porch this morning.
Hooked everything up...

Unfortunately:
mrbill_at_chip:~> xterm
Warning: Cannot convert string "5x7" to type FontStruct
xterm: unable to locate a suitable font
ugh. I did NOT want to have to mess with remote fonts, considering
I have ZERO documentation for this thing...
I just wish it had SSH built-in. Cool and useful, regardless..
