Oh, interesting. Surprised that I didn't already know that. Perhaps every time I encountered the term "quake terminal" I just assumed it literally meant the the Quake terminal proper.
I'll let my original comment stand since it seems likely that at least some others will have the same impedance mismatch as I did.
No worries, mate! When the popular narrative is "you can run Doom on a pregnancy test" your blind spot tracks.
By the bye, I know Foone hates their threads being posted here, so I won't, but I absolutely adore their hardware and software finagling. It's also made me a better developer!
I’ve been using Linux since 1999 (thanks for the Halloween memos, Microsoft!) and this is the first I’m hearing of Quake terminals. I would also have assumed it involved the actual game somehow.

In any case, thanks for pointing it out.
