	I would be most interested in knowing about commercially available
	non-bitmapped display terminals with upper and lower case, underlining
	and/or reverse video, editing capability under computer control, some
	kind of random positioning, minimum size 32 x 64 characters, and the
	ability to work at 9600 baud or greater, that sell for $500 or less.
	Terminals with less than these capabilities do not correspond to the
	capability commonly available in workstations.

I have two candidates: the ADDS Viewpoint ($450 at 1), and the Kimtron
ABM85.  I don't have good pricing yet on the second, but have reason
to believe it will be in the $600 range for quantity 10.  Both of
these have all of the above with one exception; both are 24 x 80, the
quasi-standard for character oriented terminals.

Both have detachable keyboards; the ADM85 has a non-glare screen, a status
line, and a bigger keyboard.
