Doug is correct, of course; but what both of you are forgetting is that
comp.terminals.tty5620 and .bitgraph are both inet groups. Most sites out
in UUCP land don't get either group. So neither is particularly useful.
This may also account for why no one is using them.

There has been a lot of AT&T 600-series terminal discussions in plain ol'
comp.terminals. That group has very low traffic, so I see no reason not to
use it.
