  Does anyone know if unix will support Tandem 6526bcx terminals. I
think that they are RS-232, but I'm told they have some weird
things about them. 386 unix systems to be specific, but it shoudn't
matter. Thanks

-Rob

Only if they do async, rather than blocked async.  You can probably
check this by trying to set the terminal to ANSI mode, rather than
BLOCK or CONVERSATIONAL.
