Well, I certainly remember the dreaded DEC  VT-05...

20 lines (not 24), 72 columns (not 80), upper case display  (but at least 
the keyboard could be told to send lower case), cursor  addressing 
requiring delays, and other unmentionable features that cannot  be 
mentioned on this friendly list without using naughty  words...

If I had to consign a sysop to hell, they'd probably be forced  to using a 
VT-05.  I've used worse, but a VT-05 will do.
