The HD-3030 was of the generation previous to the "terminal node
controller" (PK-232/KAM/etc.) class of devices.  It is an old style
filter/slicer terminal unit and has no "smarts" or code conversion
(5-bit to 8-bit) capabilities.  It requires dumb terminal software
that directly supports 5-bit/45.45 baud code on the serial port.
