Rather worthless when you need to get into the setup menu! Though
considering they came with Auspex fileservers this might have been
done on purpose to keep people out of the menus!
The VT520's didn't seem that bad to me, but then I haven't used one
on a DEC system, so wasn't coming close to taxing their capability.

Last I checked, you can still buy VT520's from
Boundless (they bought DEC's
terminal business).
Weren't they originally made by a different company and relabeled
& sold by DEC? I seem to recall that the VT420 was the last
DEC-built terminal. Which makes perfect sense, as the models after
that are utter garbage.
