Most enhanced keyboards won't do a very good job when trying to emulate a
DEC keyboard because the gray '+' key is double-sized, and also there
aren't enough function keys.

The "class act" solution is sold by KEA Systems, and includes a keyboard
with the exact DEC layout, and software to go with it.  I don't know the
price of this product.

Their address is KEA Systems, Ltd., 2150 W. Broadway Suite 412,
Vancouver BC, Canada V6K 4L9.  Phone 604-732-7411, or 800-663-8702.
