Yes, I've heard of them and even seen them, but they are rare.  However, 
I like having a real terminal as the console, and since most of my 
terminals are VT220, I plan to use them.

Someone from VSI said that DECwindows will be supported on x86.  Maybe 
no high-end graphics, but enough for what I need it for (such as typing 
a usenet post in a DECterm running in CDE on a graphics monitor 
connected to a satellite in my VMS cluster).

Hang on to them; I'll take them off your hands!
