Televideo 950 question (and a laugh at my expense)

Actually, that feature (setting the enter key to cr OR crlf) is present on 
every terminal I've ever worked with, except about two of them. Most systems 
I've worked on in my life required it.

Agreed. But Teletypes were current loop, and thus they wouldn't be hooked up 
to the 12920 mux generally would they?

You are correct actually.... but here's what confused me.

I'm absolutely positive that the ACT I, IV, and V terminals we had hooked up 
to our access system in high school, you simply pressed enter. I'm quite 
sure you didn't have to hit linefeed to autobaud. Thus, they were either 
generating CRLF, or the system was patched.
