	We are looking to get a couple of VT100 compatible terminals
so that we can use the cursor based VMS editor, as well as several
other VMS programs. These terminals require the following characteristics:

	*) Low Cost
	*) are truly compatible (no little quirks)
	*) work with vi and emacs under Unix (full 9600 baud)
	*) no brain damage (i.e. 'magic cookies')

	Things such as green screen and detached keyboard do not matter
at all. Fancy graphics does not matter either.

	I would like to get any opinions on what to purchase. Please
mail me any information. The one terminal that looks good on paper
is the Televideo 970, which can be obtained for $910. I am a bit
scared of Televideo, however, as some of their other terminals (920)
have the 'magic cookie' problem, as well as other brain damage.

	Thanks,
	Greg Ordy
