In my previous job I was fortunate to have an Ann Arbor Ambassador
terminal as my at-home dial-up terminal.  Loved it.  I've changed
jobs, got permission to buy a new AAA, called Ann Arbor, and was told
they have been out of the terminal business for three years.  Arrrggg!

So, I would appreciate pointers to, in order of preference:

1) a retail source of archived new Ambassadors

2) a source of used Ambassadors

3) suggestions and sources of alternatives to Ambassadors.

Footnote for the uninitiated: The AAA is/was a 60 line by 80 character
terminal with meta-key - the emacs user's dream in the days before
workstations.  When paired with a Trailblazer, it is still a
technology with a purpose.

Thanks, as they say, in advance...

- George
