I had followed up on this via e-mail but I guess it's time to shoot my mouth off
to a larger audience. Adding  Vt-100 support required some substantial changes 
to the IAC firmware.  However, some of the older IAC's did not have enough memory 
available to load the additional code and support the new features.  As a result,
I believe that VT-100 suport is only available on the various "new generation" 
IAC cards (the ones based on the 68k not the uEclipse).  This would be the 
IAC 24, the newest IAC 8 (I bielieve there are three kinds), the term server 
cards and the LAC12
