I'm currently using a couple of VT420's, and they're great. I also get the
backward ?'s and don't know how to fix it, but I only get that on one of the 2
I'm currently using. I also have some VT320 terminals as well, and basically
(unless I'm missing something here) they're basically the same, but limited to
one session, where the VT420's can do 2 sessions. (one terminal connected to 2
machines) On a side note, one thing I've noticed is that if I switch the vt420
to the other session I can then disconnect the terminal from the Sun without it
dropping to the OBP.

Also while on the subject of terminals, As some of you know, I NEED to move, and
I've got a bunch of these terminals, if anyone wants one, let me know.
