     I would like to find some information about portable terminals.
What we need is standard full duplex asynchronous ASCII terminals
so our technicians can do troubleshooting on the second floor without
lugging around a full size terminal.  We are looking for:

- Something light enough to carry
- Preferably battery powered
- A Dumb terminal (i.e. not a PC with terminal emulation - These
                   tend to disappear.)
- Not too expensive
- Reliable
- If possible, an 80 char by 24 line screen
- Possibly vt100 or AT&T 5425 emulation

Can someone tell me what is out there.  Any recommendations?
