All Tek terminals work with vi, some better than others.  The storage
tube based terminals (401x, 400x, 4114) work just fine in open or ex
mode.  The raster based terminals (410x, 411x except 4114) support ANSI
X3.64 and work quite nicely in visual mode.  Many of us use them daily
as UNIX(TM) terminals with vi/emacs/jove/etc.  They also emulate much
of the VT100 command set so that many of the VMS screen based stuff can
run successfully.  (Note that some very early 4112 and 4113 terminals
will need an upgrade to add the X3.64 capability.)  The older raster
terminals (402x) also work with vi but are not X3.64.
