The Wyse 99GT is a VT220 compatible terminal with Tektronix 4010/4014
emulation. Or, if you like it that way, a VT240 compatible without the
Regis graphics. You can connect a serial mouse to the printer port and
have the terminal report the mouse movements as escape sequences to the
computer. The GEM display in the ads is a fake, I think. I can't imagine
anyone want's to do real windowing in that terminal. It's too stupid and
slow for that.
