[comp.terminals] Bitmapped terminals

news@ism780c.isc.com (News system) (11/30/89)

A friend of mine needs some help findings bitmapped terminals.  He is
running 4.3 BSD on a VAX 11/785 and has the software for X but no bitmapped
terminal to display the window system on.

He is looking for a DUMB bitmapped terminal (not a workstation) that they
can connect to the VAX and run X on.   If anybody out there knows any
manufacturers that have such a beast can you please pass the information on
to me.

Please reply via e-mail since I do not read the news often.

Thanks to all who reply!!

The magazine UNIX WORLD  (SEPT and OCTOBER I think !)  ran two issues which
both had special sections evaluating X and X-terminals.

This lists processor, speed, resolution, cost, features etc.

P.S. They are both very interesting issues, in particular with respect to X.
