I think it's just called AT&T PC6300. There are a bunch of variants but I'm somewhat confident it's in that family. The very high x-height and tiny, 45º slash are characteristic.

  Nope, the y is markedly different than the screenshot: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/font?att_pc6300 https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/font?att_pc63...

I'm pretty sure that's a Link MC5 terminal, which emulates DEC VT220 by default, but that font doesn't seem very VT220ish. https://vt100.net/dec/vt220/glyphs https://vt100.net/dec/vt220/glyphs

  emulating DEC VT's generally meant the full featureset of DEC ANSI escape sequences for cursor positioning, saving, colors, bold, etc. It would not include emulating fonts. i googled and found this picture of a Link MC5 screen, though it's monochrome, don't know if they would have changed that. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnz-v8Y44ESH18qWuCTYrZbAF4alIOQ9914Rk0E7GQPBMQFlq-bR74XNBYfxRZ61VsUWUXJ9ViuY_GzkXgbVvHZPyzb7PKogbCji_QHc6UuwviRNyzsECz0HIszLM-EF9b1oHNrQmzwz-F/s1600/IMG_9533.JPG https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg...

  This only lists PC fonts, which doesn't include UNIX terminals. I admit I haven't checked them all just yet.
