Someone asked about Latin-1 terminals, and I responded that I thought the AT&T 730 supported it. As it turns out, we have an AT&T 730 (bitmap terminal) and we have verified it does indeed support Latin-1. It will display 8 bit characters, but to type them in you need the special 102-key keyboard (which is not the default). It uses the DEC VT200 COMPOSE sequences. For those unfamiliar with the issue, Latin-1 is an 8 bit code sequence that looks like ASCII in the low order 128 chars, but adds a variety of accented characters commonly used in Western Europe in the upper 128.
