We're about to buy 2-5 color X terminals (with purchases of more planned
over the next few months/years). It's been suggested (by me) that we
buy Amigas for this, since a good color X terminal starts at around
$3000 (and can only do X!).
(I'm in the process of acquiring a 2000 for myself, but I still have
lots of questions..)
Questions (probably should've emailed 'em straight to boing!dale,
right? :-):
0. Which Amiga? I assume 2000, if not 2500HD
1. Is there SLIP-based X for the Amiga? How fast will it go?
Any problems with v.32 modems?
2. Ethernet-based X: How fast, and will it talk TCP/IP to
Sun/Apollo/ultrix X servers?
3. X11R4?
4. Is there really a CBM discount for Amigas? How much? Who do I
call (this week :-) at CBM to get the real dope?
thx..
