	I had one of these (from Honeywell Surplus in the Boston area)
briefly shortly before I bought the model 40s... and did very little
with it because I found a 40 before I got around to playing with the
Terminet.   The 40s did upper/lower case and IIRC the model of Terminet
I had was only U/C...

	Model 40s were used by the wire services in that era with their
1200 baud "high speed" data feed... so they supported the same character
set more or less the old model 20s did... (plus and minus some
variations in pallets on the print chain specific to specific
applications ordered for a particular printer).    They could do both
sprocket and regular  roll/fanfold paper (in the 80 character model),
the 132 character one was sprocket fed.

	Like the Terminets they had a capability for forms support...
