[comp.terminals] Wyse60, TVI965

We are in the process of procurring some terminals for programmers
to use in doing development work on a UNIX/System V environment.
The terminals that we are seriously thinking of buying are TVI965
or the Wyse60. Does anyone has good or bad experience with them,
or other recommendations? Thank you.

I have had experience with both the wyse60 and tvi965.  Both companies have
quality control problems.  Televideo also has a problem with timely
shipping of the 965.  My preference is for the 965 with Page-white screen,
however, they are both fine terminals, provided you don't get a lemon.
Wyse seems to put out about one lemon for every ten good terminals.
Televideo has a much better ratio.

Wyse has many other products including the new WY-120. I recommend
that anyone considering the WY-60 should also take a look at the WY-120.

Actually, I think you mean, the WY-150..!!  Look at the LINK MC5 though.

It has more capabilites and emulations for only about $15.00 more
retail.
