[comp.terminals] Anyone seen or heard of Intecolor CRT ?

doug@tci.bell-atl.com (Doug Mildram) (10/06/89)

I'm on a Net Mgmt project about to use UNIX (DEC RISC/Ultrix) and Xwindows.

One Network Comm. Equip. vendor to consider is GDC (General DataComm).
    The console (and/or dialup term) of their all-purpose Controller (NMC-70) 
       system is an Intecolor CT 427 color CRT (or less desirably, CT 210)

    Anyone here ever seen/heard of Intecolor and/or their color CRT?

    I'm guessing it's not compatible with anything else.

    I also assume that my chances of finding/buying Intecolor emulation for
     UNIX/Ultrix/Xwindows are slim to nil, since it's a color terminal.

Pardon my pessimism.  On the up side, I read this group daily and I enjoy
the low noise ratio.  A well-behaved group !

Thanks in advance.  Reply directly or via this (these) newgroups.

Boy have we!  Call me at 602-746-9127, 8AM - 5 PM MST, to hear all the
poop on Intecolors.  I will not degrade a product in a public forum.

Intecolor is "An Intelligent Systems Company" (part of the conglomerate
that owns/owned Quadram).  They make many different terminals.  Some of
them were at one time placed in control panels for nuclear plants (or so 
I have heard).  I even wrote part of the ROM software for the
Intecolor 2431 (a color terminal that was never released) :-(

The Intecolor 2400 series are/were ANSI 3.64 terminals.
Some of the later ones have a really nice setup system with menus that
even I can understand.  They also have a LOT of user-definable function
keys.  Some people report that  they have HIGH reliability; other
people cannot stand them!
