Modified and modified...
The LN03 supports the ANSI escape sequences, just like the VT100 does.
It's just that some sequences don't make sense on a CRT, and some dont
make sense on paper (try the blinking attribute for one. :-).

In addition to this, the LN03 supports sixel graphics, just like the
graphical terminals in the VT series, and it also supports software
loadable fonts, some built in fonts, and you can plug in font cartridges
into it.
