I have a wyse 50 at home and we have about 6 or so at UCLA.
We are pretty happy with them. 
	-The screen is large (~14") and the charaters are very clear.
	 It also tilts and rotates which is convenient.

	-The keyboard is laid out reasonably. The esc,cntl keys are
	 in the right place. It has 16 function keys that will remember
	 8 characters each. There is a 10 keypad. The touch is OK.

	-We've had no trouble with things like flow control.

	-It has several status lines for various purposes and every
	 thing can be set up from the keyboard.

	-The one thing that is wrong with it (and many others)
	 is that changing to half intensity or underline mode takes up
	 a space on the screen

	-Also in two cases I've heard that there was something wrong
	 with the terminal when it came from the factory. It seems 
	 though that if it works for the first week it keeps working.
