Sure.  Plenty.  Texas Instruments makes a few models, the 'LT220' is the
latest.  80x24 LCD screen, VT220 compatability, optional printer, the works.
Roughly $800.

I also believe there is another one called "COLLEGUE" or something like that
that sells for a little less.  We happen to own the TI and I love it.
The biggest reason for getting it was for programmers-who-go-on-trips-but
-don't-know-PC's-enought-to-bother....
