[Simh] Problem using a real VT terminal with simh

[Johnny Billquist]

Another thing to check is transmit and receive speed on the terminal so that they aren't different. Many people today fail to realize that they can be different and that dec terminals have different settings for the two. The "best" might be to set receive speed equal to transmit speed, which one specific setting for receive speed.
