I use Wyse terminals on my MicroVAXen.  They work fine in vt100 mode.
Everything in their right mind should default to vt100ish mode, mostly,
for compatiblity.  The amber screen terminals are quite easy on the
eyes.  The keyboards are a little on the soft touchy side, and break
easily if dropped.  They are pretty good rugged terminals that should
last a long time.
