Why don't you pick up a half decent terminal emulator like procomm or one
of 13,000 others that will at least respond back to a terminal type query
as "vt102" or something the software should understand?

Probably not that they want anybody to know about...

Obviously, you haven't tried DSIN or the Digital Electronic Store -
you ain't seen nothing yet... Admittedly, it would be nice if DEC's
software was a little more flexible, but it shouldn't be such a big
deal to find a decent emulator or even (gasp) a DEC compatible terminal
so you can cater to it's whims... 8-)
