After having to lug around a Wyse 50 terminal to trade shows, (just in case we need it,) an idea came to mind. If there were under $1000 laptop PC's, there must inexpensive LCD terminals available too. What I, and the other sys admins at this office, am looking for, is a laptop terminal, akin to a 8088 based laptop PC with out disk drives and terminal software in ROM. We've tinkered around with a Tandy Model 100, but it couldn't keep up at 9600 bps (another must). We're now considering the Tandy WP2. We know its advertised as a portable word processor, but it is notebook size, and has a terminal mode that reportedly works @ 9600 bps. Another plus is the price ($300), but a negative is its display size. (80x8 (would prefer 80x24)) If necessary, we'll go with a single floppy drive laptop, but I'd like to know whats in the terminal market that may fit my need. -- Can anybody help me? -- Matthew Lee Stier (mstier@east.Sun.COM) | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: sun!mstier or mcnc!rti!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
