Wyse is ok, except they never read the part of the RS-232 spec which
says DTE (data terminal equipment) shall use a male DB-25 connector. 

At least DEC and IBM get this right. (IBM blew it on their 3101 but
got their act together with the 7171.) I don't like what DEC did with
the <> characters on their VT220 keyboard, however.
