I'm afraid it's terminal
I've been looking into getting a dumb terminal. I've seen quite a few used ones. I don't want to pay much, but I do want it to work. US Computer Exchange has a quite few that fit the bill, but I have no idea whether the keyboard is included, or what exactly I'd be getting.
Ideally, I'd like to find a working DEC terminal, or even an old adm3a (hopefully one with lower case ... yep, they made them with upper-case only), even though they were dying when I first used them in the 1980s. I can only imagine what shape they're in 20 years later.
Ideally, I'd like to spend no more than $25.
I found this interesting Web page on dealing with dumb terminals and Unix. It might be helpful.
Also: check out VT100.net, one of the best sources of information for DEC terminals.
And that site led me to The Archive of Video Terminal Information, which includes the "interesting Web page on dealing with dumb terminals" link above. So I'm in a terminal loop, or so it appears.
