You are thinking of the AT&T 610.  This terminal is, in my opinion,
the best ordinary terminal AT&T has come out with yet.  You get a
choice of screen color (amber is the default, green and white are
options), and a choice of keyboard.  The monitor is Safari-styled
(e.g. looks like the 6300 or UNIX PC monitor.)  One keyboard has a
sane layout (large control key to the left of A, other keys in the
right places, although the caps lock is to the left of control, but
ctrl is so big it shouldn't matter) the other keyboard is identical
to the UNIX PC.  The "feel" of the keyboard is very good - similar to
the UNIX PC.  An internal 300/1200 baud modem is an option.  I don't
know what these list for, but I'm told it's slightly less than the
AT&T 5425/4425 it replaces.
