	We got some at the company I worked for over the summer just before I
left.  As I recall, the people who got them on their desks thought they were
great (once they figured out how to use them).  You can (as I recall) have 
multiple sessions going to multiple hosts simultaneously (in different windows
whose size you can define).  They also had different font size so that you 
could have a window that took up 1/4 of the screen and still get 80 characters
in it (I think).  I only used one once, but its VT-220 emulation seemed pretty
good to me.
