AT&T has a 705 MT terminal that has two serial ports to accommodate two 
hosts, or a host and a printer, etc.  It has split screen capability 
via windowing.  In a dual host configuration each host connection would 
have its own window (both are active).  You can view the windows simultaneously
or make both windows full screen (in which case only one is viewable at a time,
though you can switch to the non-displayed window at the touch of a key).  
The 705 also has a VT220 emulation.  It is monochrome and comes in 
"paper-white" or amber.

The list price is $549.

You can call AT&T Computer Systems Sales and Information at 800-247-1212
and they can refer you to your local AT&T dealer.
