I was pretty sure they were called VXT and not VT, but googling seems to
suggest they were indeed called VT1000 and VT1200. There was also the
VT1300 and VT2000, which I barely remembered.
Anyway, I was wondering if they talked DECnet, and the Wikipedia article
seems to suggest they actually didn't. They just spoke TCP/IP for X11,
but they also talked LAT natively. But then you just had 24x80 terminals
on that fancy screen. (And of course, they also had serial ports.)

For that
matter, there are also DECnet nodes that are neither routers
nor general purpose computers.
The network-connected PostScript printers (LPS40, LPS20) are an
example, as are some of the earlier
X terminals. (Wasn't there something called the VT1000?)
There was both VXT1000 and VXT1200.
