I personally like the Televideo 965 terminal. We used to get 955s until they
were priced more than the 965.  The 965 is a better terminal anyway.

I like the fact that they are one of the few terminals on the market that DO
NOT come with a BRAIN DAMAGED PC style keyboard layout (but this is just my
opinion).

It has a lot (16 I think) of programmable function keys. It has a good number
of specially labled editing type keys like "page", "home" "line insert/delete",
"char insert/delete," etc.  The cursor keys are laid out in a reasonable
pattern.

The CTRL key is only separated from the "A" key by a caps lock key.  I would
have preferred that it be RIGHT next to the "A" but this is as close as they
come (I looked at a lot of terminal keyboards). At least it isn't off down by
the space bar.

We've had some trouble with reliability of 955 keyboards but so far the 965
keyboards (which are newer) have not given us any trouble.

The 965 can go at least 19.2 KB, if not 38.4.  I know the 955 goes 38.4 but
can't remember for sure if the 965 does. Since it is newer than the 955 I would
expect it to.

Just my .02.
