Well, I certainly remember the dreaded DEC VT-05...
20 lines (not 24), 72 columns (not 80), upper case display (but at least
the keyboard could be told to send lower case), cursor addressing
requiring delays, and other unmentionable features that cannot be
mentioned on this friendly list without using naughty words...
If I had to consign a sysop to hell, they'd probably be forced to using a
VT-05. I've used worse, but a VT-05 will do.
