An Amiga A500 + monitor will run you around $900. I've got a PD VT100
emulator that I run all the time (usually leave it running with a biff
behind my working screen when working locally so I get beeped for
mail). I get 80x48 lines, plus mouse support from GNU emacs (that
mimics the mouse support on the mg running on the Amiga). It may
stretch your budget a bit, but the extra functionality is could be
worth it.
