I have a VT-220 terminal that I use for a serial console on DEC, Sun, and SGI machines. Very nice terminal. I use one at the Rhode Island Computer museum because it supports 20mA current loop and RS-232. Manuals and schematics are available here: Index of /pdf/dec/terminal/vt220

I used to own one of these (it was also an amber screen) and had it directly serial connected to my multiline BBS (Cafe Chrome, based in Melbourne, VIC), originally as line 6 but eventually moving it to line 8 as I expanded the number of lines on the BBS.

Still have some of the (physical) manuals.
