	Mike, A regular terminal such as a vt100-vt520 can be used 
	thru the db-9 port on the back of a vs2000, using a BCC08
	cable. its wiring scematic is:

	female db-9  lines 5 4 3 2 1
                            6 7 O O

	1-1,2-3,3-2,4-5,5-6,6-20,7-7, 8&9-no connection

	female db-25 O O O O O O 7 6 5 O 3 2 1
	              O O O O O 20O O O O O O

	Now, If by attached you mean across the net/cluster.
	Yes there has been several software packages toughting
	this functionality, some with lousy implementation,
	others thought very highly of (at least bye not being 
	screamed about on decuserve or the net).

	I can't seem to find the product name for the most
	recent one from DEC, But I'm sure someone else will
	post it soon.

			HTH,   Jim
