Does anyone have any experience with the Televideo 925? Is it good value for the money? Does it work well with sophisticated editors such as Emacs?

Date: 19 July 1982 10:07-EST In-Real-Life: Bill White at Lindley 315M Origin: IUCS We use the 925 here at IU. There is a problem with screen updates with (Gosling's) Emacs. The update algorithm seems to insert long strings of characters to the right of the dot (so that the cursor stays at the same spot on the screen, and the end of the line slithers toward the right.) The 925 needs a whole lot of delay time for character insertion, and the terminal gets confused fairly regularly. (I suppose that some careful tinkering with termcap entries would fix most of the trouble.) The guys in the hardware lab say that it's very reliable.
