I am sitting here typing on a Wyse 50. It is a terminal manufactured by
Wyse. It uses escape sequences quite similar to the Televideo terminals
which were popular in the early 1980's. It is not an ANSI 3.64 compatible
terminal (the Dec VT220 is close). In any case, I suspect that you have
uncovered an async compatibility mode in an IBM product which emulates
(obviously) the Wyse 50 terminal. There are quite a lot of Wyse 50's out
there although many of them say something else (OEM, OEM).

I do not think it is an IBM protocol. It is a nice terminal (well, before
windows anyway).
