Are any terminals still being made?
I mean if I wanted to do the VT220 or wyse 50 thing I'd get a raspberry 
PI and a LCD monitor and run linux on it and build one out of software.

And absolutely use the full amount of ROM space to fill it with fonts.

Last time I saw a dedicated terminal in a bank, hooked up to some remote 
mainframe, it was a PC running some custom code, anyway.

It really is simply too obsolete for me.

I replaced serial terminals with a plasma screen laptop running DOS back 
in the 90s sometime...

Or winodows3  equipped with a emulator or telnet client
