I must beg to differ.  While the new Sorocs (Iq130,135) are ugly
and have a poor feel, the 120 (still available most everywhere)
is very much a winner. It suffers only from age... baud rate must
be switched via thumbwheel on the rear of the terminal, and its not
Vt52/Vt100/ANSI compatible.  It also weighs 45 pounds, so it won't 
budge if you set it down somewhere.  Service for mine was never a
problem as none was ever necessary, but I've had very good response
from the factory in Anaheim when getting customers' units fixed or
upgraded.

If you're in the market for a terminal, be sure your system can support it
BEFORE you make the plunge.
