After looking at various terminals and modems (all OVER-OVER PRICED),
i found one term and one modem really good.  The terminal :
   
ESPIRIT 10/102   $399  ( i am not kidding)
VT102 compatible (works fine on VMS and EDT, haven't tested on Emacs).
Swivel top, non-glare screen, and a better keyboard.
How to get it
   
Call 1-800-531-0019   NETWORX
			188 Main St.
			Northport
			NY 11768	also (516)754-2798
1200/300 baud VOLKSMODEM (by ANCHOR AUTOMATION) $189 (again , not kidding)
List price is $299 but dealers sell at 189. Contact me if u can't find any.

rumors : prices of terms will fall below 200 in next 6months.
