I recently bought a used Wyse 50 explicitly for use with my linux system.
The hardware setup is pretty straight-forward:
SHIFT-SETUP puts the terminal into the setup mode
Menu selections appear at the bottom of the screen
Use left/right arrows to select the item to change
Use the space bar to cycle through the options for the current item
Use the up/down arrows to cycle through more menu items
When all items have been selected, SHIFT-SELECT will exit setup
Prompt at the top of the screen will ask if you want to save the new
setup
I use 38400/8/n with /dev/ttyS1 (dos com2)
mc, compiled with termcap works well - wy50, for 80 col or wy50-w, for
132 col
top 1.01 works if I first issue: stty cols 132 rows 24
jed, compiled with slang/terminfo, does not work for me - scatters
characters
and control codes all over the screen - haven't had time to debug my
terminfo files
