That's a pretty good idea...  Although I did manage to get a keyboard-less
VT320 at a ham fest recently for like $4.  Anybody have a keyboard for one?

Great, now you make me go off-topic :)

This past school year and this upcoming one, myself and a bunch of friends 
have been playing netrek in the CS labs at RIT.  My best buddy is the admin,
so on fridays, he would reserve two labs of Ultra 1s and we'd go to town.
We're planning on doing it again starting this fall, so if anyone is interested
(and in the area) and would like to join us, feel free to drop me an email.
