Nervada???

  I picked up a few Gigi's that someone was giving away (read tossing) and 
have been using them in place of my PC since.  Someone wrote that it had a 
"braindead" emulation of vt100... Funny, works great for me.  I have a 
printcap entry on my DecStation2100 for a vk100 which is what it really is.


  I've had no problem and the price was great.  I also have the manual for
it including some technical information, paper only I'm afraid.
