Pyramid Technology supports the 615, 620, and 630 now. Celerity has supported
the old 5620 for some time, so I would expect the new terminals to work just
fine on their systems as well. (You can use a VT-220 termcap for the 615 and
620, and the 5620 termcap on the 630. An AT&T 4410 termcap needs some hacking
before it'll work on a 615 or 620.)

And I believe BRL's user-mode DMD multiplexor for 4.2BSD should work OK, too.
