- I know I saw such a device a few years ago, it actually emulated a
- VT100. It was a little box that hung off the coax and had a DB-25
- (RS-232) on it going the other way. It was amusing, I don't think it
- was very expensive (maybe $150?) On the other hand, you can probably
- pick up good used ASCII terminals for under $100 these days, so
- there's not much point.
