Basically, I like it.

All of its emulation modes are based on televideo 920 family
terminals, 925, 950, 955, etc as well as some other stupid terminals.
No ansii.  also, most non-alpha keys are reprogrammable, with the
exception of the keypad which never is.

It is the case with the one I am typing on now.

>is it a good terminal?

I'd be hard pressed between this and a used tvi970.  the wyse60 has a
cleaner display as well as 43x132, 43x80, 25x80, and 25x132 modes but
I miss the keypad and the ansii control sequences.
