Just wondering. VT terminals with Linux?


Hi all.
Just wondering.
How many out there are fooling with VT (dumb) terminals and Linux?
I got myself involved with a small project at work utilizing the barcode readers on some VT terminals to do some inventory control VIA nano, grep, and some shell scripts on a Pentium system running Debian. I laugh at the poor folks that think the VTs are useless.
Anyone else?

An ex-employee left one of these things as junk in our office once after he left, I put it on my desk and I ran "top" on it, after a while I got sick of it, the crt quality isn't as good as newer monitors, I didn't want to go blind later on in life from receiving all the radiation.

yeah, they're kinda useless nowadays when you can get an old color monitor + 133mhz computer pretty cheap.
