It implemented a standard for escape codes to control the terminal, and VT100 emulation survives to this day. It was used to communicate with any machine that had a RS-232 serial interface, and was used extensively with the VAX line of computers. It had an 80-character by 24 line display, but it could also do 132-character width, double-height, double-width etc. It had some basic box-drawing characters to allow some very basic graphics to be drawn.
