I  am interested in  hearing from anyone  out there that  has experience 
using the Zenith Z-29 (or its twin, the Heath H-29) terminal. I have had 
one for several years and have, overall, been pretty pleased. However, I 
have  noticed several minor quirks that may be peculiar to my machine or 
a  general trait of  the machine. I  would like to  know about any bugs, 
compatibility  success/failures (I have found that the terminal emulates 
a  VT100/102 quite well [even on VMS] even though Zenith officially says 
that  it  doesn't), or  anything  else.  Note  that  my  terminal is the 
green-screen  version. I bought  it the first  year these terminals were 
available   so   there   may   have   been   bugs   in   this   version.  

Also,  it has been difficult getting tech help on this machine. Know any 
good Zenith tech support phone numbers?  The ones I tried weren't that 
helpful.

PLEASE REPLY BY E-MAIL, DO NOT POST.

Thanks,
