I have a Dec Server 300 coming and want to put some mmj sockets in two rooms. Does anyone know where I can source these?

If you're looking for real world examples then Google is your friend. There is a program floating around that converts gifs to sixel graphics that can be displayed using the soft character set on VT320 terminals.

Yup, I converted some GIFs using NETPBM to Sixel graphics.
I wish there was a Mac or Windows terminal emulator capable of showing them..
Did you checkout VTstar? That runs on Windows. Although I'm not sure of the latest version it will work on. I believe it works with Vista. Here is the link anyway:
Sadly it doesn't work either. I'm tempted to write some kind of shim that would capture ReGIS / Sixel escape sequences and draw them on Terminal.app.
The protocols are pretty simple.

I came across this little gem when perusing VT220 escape code:
"4.4.2 Designating Soft (Down-Line-Loadable) Character Sets
You can define a soft character set (font) that may or may not replace one of the existing hard sets (ROM fonts). If you do replace a hard set, the replacement occurs for both the 80 and 132-column versions"
Does VMS support this? Or is it up to the terminal emulator?
Here's the link: http://vt100.net/docs/vt220-rm/chapter4.html
That stuff generally needs a real terminal to work. As Julian pointed out, there are some emulators that do support this feature. I believe the VTstar software might do it, although I can't confirm that right now. The DECterm terminal window doesn't support it, that is the only way I think VMS could support it given it is a feature of the terminal. I'm pretty sure (it's been a while since I played with this stuff) that the soft character set is not the same on different models of terminal either.

I'll have to look into that Mac240 software, sounds cool.

I have been unsuccessful at getting a real 220 to respond to the escape codes that the Mac emulator seems to accept, according to the VT220 programmer's reference.

Hello!
Pontus I've been dunning myself, in the general direction of Kessel
for the same issue, (your good idea), for two items as well. As it
happens my Fedex account is fully workable........

Dave this is your fault, none of the Yetis surrounding you or Cory
want to help. All they want to do is use your resources to commit
mayhem in Asia.

Argh, I've been looking for one of those for a while. Does it have the "flip
chips" for connecting to another backplane (I don't know the number)?
Is there anybody local who would pick it up and ship to me in Sweden? For a
reasonable reward of course.
Regards,
Pontus.
