At our uni, we used DEC and had vxt2000 terminals. It worked fine, just like wayland does today. But it wasn't rock stable, or even remotely secure.

Secure no, lol. But in those days telnet was still the norm.

At my college they didn't even have xauth implemented which was loads of fun embarrassing other users with xv and some cool pictures :P Or xblast

We didn't have xauth either; our fun was xeyes.
