I am interested in getting a computer terminal, anything that could appropriately emulate a vt100 would work. Where can one find something by the like at a low cost? I imagine there are a lot of these kind of devices being dumped by universities which upgrade systems. Is there any place that sells them used? Thanks in advance.

Is there >any place that sells them used? Speaking for UC- San Francisco and University of Michigan, both large schools... They each had surplus outlets of their own. At UCSF's I've bought 2 z29s and a couple of h19s. The z29s were $50 and the h19s went for $20. They had everything there from wheelchairs (it's a big med school) to vt100s, old printers to filing cabinets. I think if you call the school you might find they have a surplus outlet. If nothing else, you could try and talk to the resellers themselves and find out what happens to it. There's a fair amount of turnover in terminals I believe. -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Christopher Cilley {ucsfcca|claris}!wet!cc cc@wet.UUCP "Life is uncertain - eat dessert first..." -RJR
