Well, They have REAL troubles getting 80 columns, usually.  How about
a Toshiba T1000 Portable - they sell for about $800 mail order, and
you can get some REALLY nice emulators for an (eech) MS-DOS machine.
Heck, Kermit (public domain file-transfer/emulator program) not only
has great VT100, but also a Tektronix 4014 graphics terminal mode -
not bad for FREE.

No problems.  Glad to be of (?) help.

P.S.  VT is a trademark of Digital Equipment Corp., Toshiba and T100
	are probably trademarks of Toshiba America, MS-DOS probably
	belongs to MicroSoft, and Kermit is a protocol (as well as 
	a program) from F. Da Cruz of Columbia University.   (Phew! :-)
