[rescue] Success story (VT1200)

[Bill Bradford]

Success story.

Got the VT1200, took the mouse apart, fixed it, hooked up the VRE01 flatpanel,
got it tweaked and working.. Got a MMJ and a DB9 adapter from Doc Shipley, 
they work fine (serial console).  

Went to Goodwill, got a 12port (gak!) 10baseT hub (old D-Link) with a 10base2
uplink on the back.  Got cables.

Got home.  No 10b2 Ts and terminators.  Called friends.  Friend had a box of
them, left four Ts and two terminators on my porch this morning.

Hooked everything up...

Unfortunately:

mrbill at chip:~> xterm
Warning: Cannot convert string "5x7" to type FontStruct
xterm:  unable to locate a suitable font

ugh. I did NOT want to have to mess with remote fonts, considering
I have ZERO documentation for this thing...

I just wish it had SSH built-in.  Cool and useful, regardless..
