Since the City and County of San Francisco have passed an ordinance
ordering divestiture of any dealings with S. Africa, we can not buy IBM
equipment.  There are a number of plug compatible terminals that we
could substitute, and also controllers.  Telex seems to have terminals
and directly plug compatible controllers, but they may not be able to
meet the non S. African requirement.  We hear that many of the other
plug compatibles are not quite compatible.

Please let me know of any experience you have, or if you know of anyone
who has studied the problem of purchasing compatible equipment, let me
know of them.  I will summarize information to the net.

P.S.  Where else should this be posted?
