Cool. I'll keep my eyes out for one (but my newest DEC terminals are
VT220s and VT240s - I had some VT320s once, but I sold them before I
got home from the rescue).
If only there was a> DEC terminal with
triple-session capability.
Should be a bunch of fun getting this guy running!

Ethan,
Try a VT525, it has FOUR sessions using cabling (does not require ssu or
multisessions). Another way to do this is
with one VT-something terminal hooked to a DECserver 200 or 300 and use
reverse-LAT;
I have a DECserver 200, but have never even applied power to it. It
came with a small crate of VAXstation 2000s (aquired after a friend
died). I don't currently have anything set up to serve MOP, so I
think I'd like to keep searching for a DECserver 300 that, hopefully,
will load via BOOTP/TFTP.
In any case, will a DECserver retain the contents of each session that
I could refresh when switching from port to port?
You can also connect a VT525 to a KVM switch and use
one keyboard and
mouse to control PC's, Alpha's, etc.
Right. I have a mechanical KVM switch and a 2-port electronic KVM
switch ($15 at the Hamvention).
Thanks for the suggestions,
