Does the terminal need to be physically present near the system or can
the system be operated remotely?  I was thinking of something like a
serial-ethernet bridge and then your operators would use their existing
computers (either bring a laptop with them and take it away when they're
done or sit at their desk).

Otherwise you're back to buying them used.  I found a 3152 at
Performance Data Resources for $325 but didn't really find anything else.
