That's what I've been reading. I just don't have anything remotely of the

If you want to buy a DEC terminal and happen to be going to VCFmw at
the end of August, I would bring one out. They are somewhat heavy to
ship and need a very large box.

I used to work at Bell Labs/Lucent/Western Electric in Columbus.
Someone else who worked there that I still have lunch with regularly
was cleaning out his garage...
I just picked up a couple of AT&T terminals, a
730+ and a 5620 "Blit"
terminal.
Some people have *all* the luck. I read on one
of the several FAQs that I can use an AT&T 4410 terminal
keyboard with the 730+.
It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure the keyboard is the same across
the AT&T 600 & 700 series terminal lines. I'm pretty sure the 4410 is the
same. Not sure if anyone has tried to build it in a decade
or so, but it did at
one time build on BSD 4.x. Obviously SVr3 and SVr4 are easier. No idea
about Linux, but I suspect it would be painful.
I wasn't going to force it onto Linux... I am pretty sure I have all
the discs for Interactive UNIX for the 386/486 hanging around, though.
That should be SYSVish and not so painful.
but for now,
I've got a couple
old terminals that are entirely unlike any of the DEC terminals I have,
so that by
itself is cool.
Rub it in :-)
