I just found out about this newsgroup so I apologize if my questions fall into the FAQ category. I've decided that it's finally time for me to be able to access my work & school computers from my home. Since my background is mainframes and Unix-based workstations and I don't want to go through the trouble of learning DOS, I decided that all I really need is a good terminal that can provide vt100 and perhaps Tek4014 emulation and a high-speed modem. I would appreciate some recommendations regarding various brands of terminals and perhaps some good mail order sources. I would also appreciate some comments on the pros and cons of buying a terminal rather than a PC. Finally, does anyone have experience with using an X-terminal connected to a host using SLIP and a 19.2K modem? Thanks in advance. Fred Criscuolo fcriscuo@ucsd.edu
