At the time, they were fairly cheap in comparison to other "more intelligent"
terminals, and they were one of the few which could keep up at a full serial
line rate without handshaking. I worked at Purdue University's Engineering
Computer Network back in the early 80's and we used then for that reason. Most
ran at either 9600 or 19200, but we modified a few to run at 38400 and they
could keep up with that speed as well...
