    In response to some of the recent positive messages on the net
about AT&T terminals, I tried calling my ATT saleperson to find out
more about these beasts.  What a waste of time!!!  I talked to
several people and got responses like:

    "I don't know what you're talking about"
    "Yeah, there's a 5620 on this list here... No I don't know anything
	   about it...  No I can't even tell you what it costs"
    "What do you want to do with it?  The <???> is a PERSONAL terminal,
	   it only works with a PERSONAL computer..."

I would greatly appreciate information from knowledgable people about
what these DMD terminals really do, what they cost, the differences
between different models, etc., etc., plus recommendations (ie, names and
phone numbers) of any ATT sales type who might actually know something.
