I had an AT&T SCEPTER terminal that was used with the Gateway service
offered in Southern California from Times-Mirror/Pacific Telephone.
It had a 1200 baud Bell 212-style modem built in. Also, the keyboard
was infrared on the model I had.

Gateway was a killer service back in 1983. It was expensive, but it
was a lot of fun. And I remember dialing up BBSes with the SCEPTER
terminal when my C-64's power supply crapped out...

Yeah, I have one of those (keyboards) somewhere in the pile and mine's
IR as well, with the Gateway sticker still on the back. No worse than a PET
to type on (if I had something to type to ;-)
No Windows key either and not supported by Microsoft, so Woodelf would
probably like it...

And coming in 3rd place for un-liked keyboards after chicklet ones
is the membrane ones found on $99 or less computers. Not saying any
names but they orginaly came from the UK.
