I remember the ADM3A - it was cheap and plentiful.
I think the "Fox" was the PE model 1100, the "OWL" was the1200.
The 1100 was replaced with the 550, the 1100 with the 1200.
Those were all build by PE in Flanders, NJ.
There was one last series of PE built terminals that was built in
Flanders and best forgotten.
These were replaced by terminals built by Lear-Siegler. Standard LS
hardware with special firmware. The last of these would also emulate a
VT-220.
None of this actually help.

I wish I could remember the name it but there was an emulator written
in pascal for dos that's sources were floating around. It had the
ability to emulate the PE 'Fox' terminal (as well as some others). The
Fox was fairly popular in the pre VT-100 days as like the Lear ADM3a
was cheap (under 1k) in those days. But that was the first PE glass
tty and I'm fairly sure they could talk to 8/32's easily / out of box
without anything special.
