Have any of you guys ever tried a Wyse 50?  We have two here at work which
we run at 38.4K baud.  NO FLOW CONTROL.  Really!  So what's the deal?  Is
there some difference between the Wyse breed and things like VT's?  We have
one VT-220.  We don't use if much-- we don't like it.  We paid $250.00 but
I hear the whole family goes for +$500.00 (?)  Both of the Wyse 50's we have
were ~$490.00 each.  I see now you can get them for $420.00 if you look a bit.

  While speaking with a friend, I learned that maybe the VT-220 had more to
it than I first thought.  (It was almost a year before I knew the VT had
uploading of fonts.)

  So what makes the VT family worth buying?
