This is an HP3000 "designed" for small offices. Its an old HP proprietary
architecture (stack based instead of register based) which does not run
anything but MPE. Useless IMO.

2392 are "normal" HP terminals. I am quite shure they have a VT100
emulation but they are quite slow.
Since these terminals are capable of block mode in HP terminal mode,
the 2394 has a larger forms buffer than the 2392.
In case you need some small (footprint) character terminals where
speed is not that important, the 239x are quite usable. At the time when
they were released, i liked them very much :-)
They are quite good supported by the "hp" termcap entry, but in case you
need a more complete one, just ask.
