Serial Terminals Anyone?

[Zarathustra[H]]

Hey all,

Beck when I was in college close to 20 years ago, these were being placed out on the curb all over campus, and I am still kicking myself for not grabbing one.

I'd love to - for shits and giggles - hook up a vintage serial terminal on my desk, connected to my linux server.

Is anyone knowledgeable regarding these things? What models work best with modern Linux distributions? Where might one fined one?

I mean, I would absolutely love something like this on my desk, if it can be wired properly today. May be near impossible to get a nice condition one though, considering it is 50 years old....

Appreciate any inputs.

Mercari, ebay. Linux can feed most of these terminals just fine, you'll have to make sure getty is given the right parameters.
