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. Regards, Elmo
