We are in the market for terminals which emulate DEC VTxxx terminals and
have support for 16 or more colors.  I've browsed through some recent
issues of Byte, Unix Review, Digital Review, etc., and it seems that
February is a bad month to look for them.  So, I'm asking the net
for any information as to who makes color, VTxxx terminals.
Graphics capability is not a requirement but if it is there we won't complain.

If anyone would like to flame me as to why we are still using `dumb old VT'
terminals and not using anything new and fancy please enlighten me as
to just what is new and fancy and where the future path of display
terminals will take us.

Thanks very much.
