I'm looking for suggestions in getting a travel terminal. Something
portable like a laptop, inexpensive, and ANSI (preferably VT100 compatible).
It should have a good keyboard, full screen 80x25 (whether plasma, LCD, etc...)
and hopefully builtin-modem (1200 or 2400) ... Any suggestions? Send
me information on what you might have or know of ... Tell me where I
can get one? How much will cost? And anything pro or con about it ...
Thanks ..
-Lenny

I just aquired and started using the TI LT-220 laptop terminal. It has the best 220 emulation I've seen, including Double-High, Double-Wide, blink, etc.etc. Also it has an internal 2400 baud modem & an internal word processor. It weighs in at about 5 lbs, and comes with a nice case and print cradle. The only thing is, it's not cheap! We put out about $1500.00, which, compared to a laptop PC, is very expensive.

(I saw one at DEXPO South '88/spring) and have not been disappointed. Cost is about $800, NOT including built-in modem. All of our staff use it whenever they go on a trip. > It should have a good keyboard, full screen 80x25 (whether plasma, LCD, etc...) > and hopefully builtin-modem (1200 or 2400) ... Any suggestions? LT220 has it all. VT100/VT220 emulation, you can "store" up to 4 diferent configurations, and there are a ton of add-ons. (at a price, however..) [i.e., the "printer"] The only other "portable" VT100/220 compatable terminal I've seen is the "college" terminal, [can't remember who makes it], but their keyboard sucked.
