First let me thank all of you who have responded to my question about
29 line terminals.  There seems to be a couple of choices for us to make.

Since our application now has 29 lines, we need a terminal that is as
close to 29 lines as possible.  At more than, say, 34 lines (i.e.
43, 66 or 80 lines) the terminal will present alot of "blank" space
to the user.  We have given some thought to selling this area as
advertising space, or even presenting scrolling fortune messages! :-)

We have become aware of a terminal made by Falco Data Products Inc.
that supports a variable number of lines (25,26,28,33,40,44,50) by
changing the size of the character cell.

The question is, has anyone heard of this terminal?  If so, anything
good?  Please send mail to me here at the well, or at:

Thanks!
