Ehh, it's a bit rewriting history to call the vt line "dumb
terminals". vt terminals were considered pretty smart, acutully mroe
or less defining the term "smart terminal". That's still refelected in
the termcap database: a dumb terminal has no random cursor movement,
it more or less emulates a teletype.
