The 2nd-gen prototype for the Ungerman-Bass CATV-style WAN was built at
MITRE (MITRENET) using boards in the LSI-11's slot to mount the on-board
switch/modem. Two BNCs

Not necessarily -- a lot of the 100s had add-on kit

Dan's description of how to tell whether your VT100 was upgraded is
correct, but it's not quite true that an upgraded one is at VT102 levels.
There are firmware bugs in VT100's which are not fixed by the 'advanced
video option' which made them support 132x24 and insert/delete line.
Those are fixed

The response to "Factory Self Test" ESC sequence with the "Repeat til
Power Off" modifier is most amusing, according to my memory of what
happened when I emailed it to my officemate.

Yes, LapLink cables (or similar brands of PC-PC non-networking e.g.
WinConnect) are great specs for null-modem cables suitably gendered for

The Laplink cable I have has 25 and 9 pin

A real working VT-100, that's a blast from the past. I hope it's

I've seen "Null Modem Cables" selling at Best Buy / Circuit City type stores.
