I'm looking to buy a terminal, and would appreciate any opinions/ experiences you've had. Ideally I'd like a terminal with a sanely layed out detachable keyboard (e.g. big return key, shift lock key not in the path from A to CONTROL, escape key to the left of 1, no funny business with the < and >, etc.), amber or green screen, and as many smart features as needed to make vi zoom along happily at 1200 baud (e.g. local insert/delete, etc.). My current list of possibilities includes the Zenith Z29 (expensive) and the Wyse-50 (I've been warned that Unix has problems with extra spaces in standout mode)... any thoughts on these two models regarding quality and functionality, or other models in the <= $600 range would be appreciated. I will grind, mutilate and summarize back in a few weeks. ... gt
