  Being a relative novice on computer terminals, I was wondering if anybody 
out there could give me some information on terminals that can be used at
home.  I am seriously considering getting a terminal for home, in order to
do work from my home on the university systems.  I am used to using VT240's
and would prefer to get one of them.  Is this a good choice?  Also, what 
kinds of hardware are needed to accomplish this?  What are the costs?
I am not really interested in getting a PC. (I do not want to spend 
thousands of dollars for a system)  All I really need is a "dumb" terminal
that I can use at home to do work and avoid commuting back and forth.
And finally, where are the best places to purchase this equipment?

Sorry to waste everybodies time with such inane questions, but this
seemed like the best place to ask.
