Anybody know where I can get some newer (vt220 or better) DEC serial
terminals that have a PC-style keyboard (or at least better than an LK201;
I need something with a real ESC key...).
I've got a mint-condition IBM 3151 with amber screen, if anybody's interested
in it (or alternately, anybody know where I can get the VT100 "emulation" card
for this thing? its a great terminal, just wont emulate ansi/VTxx...)
Thanks.

Let's see the VT220's and VT320's have the LK201, the VT420's have the
LK401. These keyboards are interchangeable, and I believe the only changes
are cosmetic. Personally I prefer the look/feel of the LK401.
You might be thinking of the VT510's? I know we use a lot of them on our
Auspex Fileservers as system consoles. I _think_ they have a LK450
keyboard, which is basically a keyboard. I know it's got a PS/2 style
connector.

The VT220 has an ESC key! try either f10 or f12. All the other VTxxxs
use the same keyboard or the later version (same key layout and codes).
If you really want an ESC key, find a VT100!

Yeah I know I can do ctrl-3 or F11 for esc, but when you're a VI user
used to having escape somewhere on the "top left", having to take your
hands off the keyboard to hit f11 is a pain.

Got a vt102 in my garage, complete with tilt and swivel stand.

So I really should reccomend this person:

He has set really resonable prices for me so far and said he had
VT100's...
I'd also like to ask the listers:
Anyone have the keyboard from a Calma GDS-II or DDM system?
They were really funky with big lights and switches and did
an attention sounder I think with a big relay inside.
They stood over 2" high on the tabletop. 1976 - 1984 era.
I'd like to find one. THX.
