Just bought monkey.sixel up on a remotely displayed decterm
Cool! Note sure if the VT330 can do sixel, but the LA75+ printer
can... ;)

I've put two examples in MEDIALIB on RHESUS, MONKEY.SIXEL and

Sixel is probably more widely available since it's quite easy to =

So sleek and modern... Especially when compared to the Honeywell terminals I used in the early 90's.
I've always lusted after a VT340+.
Does the VT525 support REGIS or SIXEL? It seems like the most practical terminal to buy at this point, since it can use a VGA monitor.

If I remember correctly, VT340 is colour - I have a VT330 which is black
and white.
