We have been using Falco terminals for a year or two and find them to be 
reliable and VERY versatile. I use the terminal in 48x132 mode with black
characters on a white screen. The screen is very easy on the eyes and the
characters are quite clear. (a screenful of text looks just like a page
of printed material)

The terminal is easy to set up with all options configured via the setup key.
It is possible to have several different windows each with a different format
set up simultaneously, and you only have to press the 'window' key to switch
between them. 

The terminal has about 15-20 different emulations including vt100. It also has
two serial ports which can be assigned in any way you like.

	eg.    serial 1     serial 2
               serial 1     auxil  2
               etc.

It is a small footprint machine with the electronics on a small circuit board
in the base of the screen housing. The screen is about the size of a small pc
monitor. The keyboard is well laid out and the keys feel good on the fingers.

I'd recommend it...   :-)
