Yep. Strictly speaking any of the RJ11-ended keyboards should work.

 I happened to aquire an LK401 keyboard (attached to a vt320 
 terminal)..
 will this keyboard work with a rainbow?

 thanks.

 I saved a DEC rainbow from the landfill this morning.

 I have the system, the monitor but no keyboard.

 Any idea where I can get a keyboard and possibly
 some software for it? 
The keyboard is a standard DEC LK201 unit. This is the same keyboard
that's used on the VT220 terminal, VT300 series, etc. So it   shouldn't be
 too hard to find one. Most DEC enthusiasts
probably have a   number lying
 about.

As regards software, ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/ had some   stuff for the
 'Bow when I last looked, but I don't know
if it's still active.
