dumb terminal

dumb terminal n.  A terminal that is one step above a
   {glass tty}, having a minimally addressable cursor but no
   on-screen editing or other features normally supported by a
   {smart terminal}.  Once upon a time, when glass ttys were common
   and addressable cursors were something special, what is now called
   a dumb terminal could pass for a smart terminal.
