Twinax would only happen if i manage to find one cheap in Holland for
pickup, as shipping these things (as i recall they weigh as much as a
family car) would make it way too expensive.

My first few years of working with an AS/400 did involve an old 3180 terminal, that was heavy enough to use as a boat anchor. But it eventually shorted out (I tried putting in a new fuse; the fuse didn't just blow, it exploded!), and since then, I've only been using a 3477, a 3487, a 3489, and a Yestation. The 3477 and 3487 are no bulkier than a CRT monitor and a buckling-spring keyboard, and the 3489 (which is just a 3488 with some kind of graphics capability that's only used with some sort of fax server application) and the Yestation don't have their own monitors, so they're even lighter. (Word to the wise: use a CRT with them: if there's an LCD that works well with them, I have yet to see it!)
