CDE is the kind of bloated horror that people install terminals to
avoid.

That said, there are actually a number of companies today making 
generic terminals that have a serial port, a PS/2 or USB-style 
keyboard connection, and VGA output, so they can be used with generic
PC keyboards and monitors.  For the most part the emulations on them
are good and so they are as good as the keyboards and monitors you use.

How important is good emulation to you?  Is emulating the vt100 line 25
bug important?  For me, it's not.  For others it might be.
