	Don't know about Most brain-damaged, but the BLIT (dmd 5620, AKA
Bell Labs Intelligent Terminal (I think) -- it should stand for BLAT --
Bell Labs Annoying Terminal). I'm on a BLAT right now, and some of it's
"features" are:

	1. No known termcap escape for reverse vide -- if someone knows it,
	   please give it to me
	2. Bad mangling of ^S/^Q with emacs (gosling's, anyway).
	3. Most infuriating feature -- if too much text is being printed,
	it just hangs and beeps forever. Makes it tough to page through
	large files. I usually feel like putting my fist through the
	screen when this happens.


	Sigh .. 

	Then again, there are regent100s.
