You could try contacting Burr-Brown in Tucson, Arizona. They sell a wide
range of 'industrial' terminals with numeric and function, or with full
alpha keyboards. The terminals have either LED segment, gas
phosphorescent dot matrix, or LCD dot matrix displays. The units have
some limited memory for storing output messages and keyboard input, can
be interfaced with bar code scanners, magnetic card readers, output only
printers, etc. The units operate in a polled environment, and can be
multi-dropped off a single RS232 or RS422 line.

I have no connection with this company, but have used these terminals in
two separate projects over the last couple of years, with good success.
