"HP terminal" and "dumb terminal" are two different things, dumb terminal
meaning "doesn't do squat except CR & LF", HP Terminal meaning "knows HP
terminal control language", a collection of HP-exclusive (mostly) responses
to escape sequences.

But if your terminal is an HP 2645A, there's a button labelled "display
functions", and there's a red pilot lamp indicating that it's on.  If you do
control-display-functions (or something similar, sbeen a while), you get
MonitorMode, which displays the nulls, and blinks the pilot lamp.
