[fa.info-terms] vt-100 problems

We are having trouble using a Digital Vt-100 terminal with our online
catalog.  The catalog is accessible through the campus computing system
to which 4000 of a number of different kinds of terminals are hardwired.  
There is also dial-in access to the network, so we are learning fast 
about a lot of different terminals.  A VT-100 can get on the network but 
our system does not recognize some (most) of the characters the VT-100
generates.  It looks a lot like a parity problem, but the parity is set
correctly (odd).  To make it even more confusing, if we use a PC with 
XTALK emulating a VT-100, everything works fine.  Any ideas?
