I'm probably one of the last VT100 users out there, but I just bought one
of my very own.  I've got it running with a modem, so I can log into 
Bucknell's mainframes (CP6, VMS, UNIX).  It works fine, and I have the 
owner's manual.

My question is, what else can I do to/with it?  I'm an E.E. student, so
a little "hacking" would be great.  What kind if upgrades can I do? 
Is there any way to make it do graphics?  I've seen VT100's with a 
gaphics card installed, but I don't know anything about them.

Also, I'd be interested in any service literature, or anything else of 
interest.

Thanks very much!
