The time has finally come when my computer is of little use to me as is; all I
use it for is a terminal anyway.  I'm selling it and replacing it with (what I
hope to be) top-of-the-line terminal and modem.
 
I've looked at the product lines of WYSE and TeleVideo, and being a "gadget
freak", love the WY-60 and TVI-965.  I've also looked at some Kimtron and DEC
units, but haven't found anything I've liked as much.  The dual-modem and
printer capabilities, 132 x 48+ line display, pop-up "desk
accessories", and other do-dads are really things that I can (and would) take
advantage of.  I have several friends who are dealers, and can get me
practically any terminal I wish at cost, so price isn't that much of a problem.
 
Are there any particular models that you NetGods can recommend?  Any models I
should stay away from?  WYSE and TVI seem (to me, at least) to be the two
"biggies" in the terminal marketplace (besides IBM).  Any experiences with
either company that I should know about?
 
I spend a _great_ deal of my free-time online to various services, and on my
budget, this is a major hardware purchase.  I appreciate any and all
responses...
