I'm lookin to buy a simple ascii terminal that I can hook up to a
modem and use to dial in to work. I won't be transferring files, so I
don't THINK I need a PC. Has anyone tried this? Seems silly to spend
$1000-$2000 on a PC when all I'll do is use it as a dumb terminal. I
figure I can get a used, useless (TVI 910?) terminal for $50 or so.
Anyone have any advice, or want to sell me a dumb terminal?
(Actually, I'd want some cursor movement and highlighting, say
reverse-video, since I'll be using emacs. So it can't be TOO dumb!)
Thanks for any advice. Post if you must, but with follow-ups to
comp.terminals. If there's interest, I'll summarize.
