I was using a dumb terminal to program phone systems and even gave on to 
some friends of mine to use to program phone systems. I later used my 
Dell laptop which had a serial port to program phone systems, control 
systems, routers and managed switches. Now I have a USB to serial 
converter to accomplish the same tasks. I do believe I have several dumb 
terminals in storage an perhaps one out in the shed. ^_^

Oh yea, the laptop is a lot easier to carry around. ^_^
