Some people have *all* the luck.

It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure the keyboard is the same across
the AT&T 600 & 700 series terminal lines.  I'm pretty sure the 4410 is the
same.

Not sure if anyone has tried to build it in a decade or so, but it did at
one time build on BSD 4.x.  Obviously SVr3 and SVr4 are easier.  No idea
about Linux, but I suspect it would be painful.

Rub it in :-)
