Their software and menu interface is far inferior to the VT4xx 
software/menu.  Plus they break backwards compatibility with the older 
series.

Right now I'm trying to find out what the difference is between the IBM 
3151 and 3161 terminals.  I also would probably want to know the 
difference between the 3151 and 3153.  I know the 3153 is a lot newer.

Plus I'm seeing if I can find a 3164 or two for cheap, and I'm seeing if 
NetBSD can address these terminals in block mode.
