Hi everybody, AT&T has recently discontinued their 510D terminal (official name is "AT&T Personal Terminal Model 510D-R2"), and a customer is frantic. AT&T has given no clue regarding what/when a replacement will be available, and my customer needs to find an alternative quickly. These are digital voice/data terminals that talk to a System 75 phone switch and (through an RS-232 adaptor on the switch) a 3B2/600 running SVR3. The customer plans on using many of these in future buildings, and changing phone systems to accomodate these terminals is very much open for discussion. These units must have a phone that knows about the switch, a standard terminal function (24x80, ANSI is preferable but not necessary) probably through the switch, function keys, does *not* need a touch screen, built-in phone directory, and must have a DIAL-IT capability (see below). DIAL-IT on the 510 is a key that will dial the phone number that appears on the screen under the cursor. We wrote a little rolodex program (running on the 3B2) that displays the phone number at a specific place, and the user can DIAL-IT and this number is dialed (we can activate this feature with an escape string as well). This is a critical feature for the proposed terminal. Please respond via email and I'll pass relevant calls onto the customer; this is a very serious buyer with intentions on many units. Phone calls for more details are welcome, and shameless sales pitches from vendors, even (shudder) IBM/Rolm, are encouraged.
