	Of the (only) three responses I got about my query for information
regarding the WYSE terminal line, two essentially said "avoid them like the
plague", and the other one very carefully side-stepped the issue of how good/
bad the terminals were, and just listed features.  Since the author of the
latter message was an employee of WYSE, I kinda figured on that kind of
response (:-).

	One terminal that one of the "negative" messages mentioned (and one
that I see general enthusiasm for from time to time here) is the Link MC-5
terminal.  I recently obtained one of these and was quite surprised to find
that it's just a WYSE terminal in disguise; at least, the words "WYSE
TECHNOLOGY" are silk-screened across the main PCB.  Upon reading the manual
that came with the terminal-proper (for some reason the mail-order house I
ordered it from decided to drop-ship the terminal itself and send the keyboard
and a MODEM separately), it does appear to be almost everything I was looking
for.  The one feature it lacks is graphics emulation, a la WYSE 99GT (which
probably explains the Link's somewhat lower price).  The manual mentions a few
escape sequences which invoke an optional graphics enhancement.  Is there, in
fact, such a device and if so, where can it be obtained and how much is it?

							Thanks,
