Hello

    I do not usually read this newsgroup but I have a question I wonder if 
anyone can help me with.  I am a student at the local university and need to
be able to do assignments from home.  I have a pc and a vt100 emulator, but
some of the packages we run really need a vt220 or 320.  Does anyone know of
a good vt320 compatible terminal?  A terminal emulator plus the keyboard would
cost almost as much as a vt320, so I am just going to buy the terminal.  I have
seen DEC vt320's advertised for about $400, are any on the other brands just
as good? cheaper?  Also, are there any problems hooking up a modem to the 
terminal and using the Hayes commands to dial the phone, etc??


                Thanks in advance,
                   Jon Leonard
